FC Barcelona’s Memphis Depay scored for the second game in a row to give his side a 2-1 win at home to Getafe in La Liga on Sunday in another unconvincing overall performance from the Catalans.

On Saturday, Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal celebrated his return from a long injury lay-off by firing his side to a 1-0 win at Real Betis.

Sandro Ramirez pulled Getafe level in the 19th minute after Sergio Busquets lost the ball in his own half and the visitors broke with purpose, the striker firing a low shot past Marc-Andre ter Stegen following a neat interchange with Carles Alena.

Barca restored their lead on the half-hour when Frenkie de Jong fed compatriot Depay and the latterflummoxed visiting goalkeeper David Soria with a strike which crept inside the near post.

It was the second time in eight days Depay had got his new club out of trouble after scoring a superb half-volley in the 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao.
