Lewandowski goal earns Barça 1-0 home victoryKolo Muani double sets up 4-1 comeback win
Barcelona closed the gap on La Liga leaders Real Madrid to four points, but were reliant on Robert Lewandowski’s second-half goal to beat struggling Alavés.
The hosts dominated possession with Alavés, who sit in 18th place, happy to sit back and defend. Barça almost scored near the half-hour mark when Manu Sánchez’s attempt to clear Raphinha’s cross went to Lewandowski, but the Polish striker put his shot wide.
