FC Barcelona Vs Alaves: Lewandowski's Goal Settles Nervy Win

There was no rout this time but Barcelona still prevailed Sunday with Robert Lewandowski scoring a second-half winner as the Catalan club beat Alaves 1-0 to move within four points of rival Real Madrid at the top of the Spanish league. Madrid lost 1-0 at Espanyol on Saturday after a run of 10 victories in its last 11 matches in all competitions. Third-placed Barcelona is three points behind second-placed Atletico Madrid, which ended a two-match winless streak in the league with a 2-0 victory against Mallorca on Saturday.
