BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Robert Lewandowski has shaken off his disappointing return to Bayern Munich by scoring twice to lead Barcelona to a 3-0 victory at home over 10-man Elche in the Spanish league. The goals took Lewandowski’s tally to 11 in eight games since he transferred from Bayern. Elche defender Gonzalo Verdu earned a red card in the 15th minute for fouling Lewandowski with only the goalkeeper to beat. The win came after Xavi Hernández’s side suffered its only loss of the season when it fell at Bayern 2-0 in the Champions League. Barcelona moved ahead of Real Madrid to lead the league. Athletic Bilbao was third after beating Rayo Vallecano 3-2.
