WATCH: Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford seal derby victory for Barcelona with late goals
Barcelona are heading for another three points in their La Liga defence bid, as they have now 4-1 up on Espanyol in their derby clash at the Spotify Camp Nou.
It was a strong first half showing from the league leaders, who led 2-0 at the interval after a brace from Ferran Torres, who scored his first La Liga goals since late January. However, they lost some control after half time when Pol Lozano curled into the back of the net, which gave Espanyol a lifeline.

Lamine Yamal seals the win for Barcelona
It has been a very nervy second half for the hosts, amplified by the fact that Lamine Yamal and Pedri have remained on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes. But their nerves have settled now, with the former having made it 3-1 after the ball broke his way off Espanyol goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic.
