Barcelona’s unbeaten run in La Liga was extended on Sunday evening with a 4-1 victory over Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium.
Aubameyang scored his first LaLiga goals and added a brace in the first half, while Frenkie de Jong’s simple touch put Barcelona 3-0 up at the interval.
In the first half, Valencia had two goals disallowed, one for offside and the other for the ball drifting out in the build-up.
Soler pulled one back with a diving header, but Pedri’s spectacular curving strike put the game out of reach.
