SEVILLA, Spain, Sept 19 : Barcelona maintained their 100 per cent record this season with a 3-1 LaLiga victory over Sevilla on Saturday, as captain Raphinha scored a hat-trick to continue his remarkable start to the campaign.
Sevilla opened the scoring after 18 minutes through a Youssouf Fofana header, but Barcelona hit back with a Raphinha strike four minutes later.
Seven minutes into the second half, Raphinha headed in a Lamine Yamal cross to put the Catalans in front, and the pair combined again as the Brazilian completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute, his 12th league goal in seven games this season.
Barcelona are provisionally six points clear at the top of LaLiga, with second-placed Real Madrid, who have a game in hand, playing Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
