Anthony Gordon scored his first goal for Barcelona as the Spanish champions extended their perfect start in La Liga with a 3-0 win over Getafe on Saturday.

The victory marked Barcelona's sixth consecutive win in the league this season, solidifying their position at the top of the table. England international Gordon opened the scoring in the second minute, setting the tone for the dominant performance.

Gabriel Jesus added a second goal after half an hour, capitalizing on a defensive error. French defender Jules Kounde completed the scoring in the second half, tucking home a cross from Lamine Yamal to secure the comprehensive win at Camp Nou.

With this result, Barcelona moved five points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid and established a nine-point lead over Real Madrid, who have a game in hand. The team's strong form extends across all competitions, having also won their Champions League opener.

Barcelona were without their leading scorer Raphinha, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained during the international break. Manager Flick replaced him with Gabriel Jesus, who went on to score his side's second goal. Gordon, who joined the club before the current season, has impressed since his arrival and continued his fine scoring form, having also featured for England recently.

Getafe defender Zaid Romero's misplaced pass in his own box directly led to Jesus's goal, highlighting Barcelona's effectiveness in capitalizing on opposition mistakes. Barcelona goalkeeper David Soria was forced into several saves throughout the match, but ultimately could not prevent the three goals.

Kounde's goal was also significant as it marked his record 194th appearance for Barcelona by a French player, surpassing Eric Abidal. The defender scored from close range after a precise cross from the young talent Yamal.

The win against Jose Bordalas's Getafe side underscores Barcelona's strong start to the season, with nine victories from nine matches across all competitions. Their consistent performance suggests they are strong contenders for both domestic and European titles.
