Later, European champion Paris Saint-Germain looks for its first league win of the season when it goes to Brest. Xavi Espart scored the opener for Barcelona with a low, bouncing shot from the edge of the area after getting set up by Raphinha five minutes in for his first goal with the senior squad. Lamine Yamal produced another double and Barcelona also got a goal from another 19-year-old product of its famed youth academy in a 4-2 win at Levante on Sunday. Elsewhere in Europe, the Bundesliga’s biggest club needed a second-half winner from Harry Kane to beat the league’s smallest side as Bayern Munich won 2-1 at promoted Elversberg.

Yamal then added a penalty shortly after the break for his sixth league goal of the season and his third straight brace in the Spanish league. Kane’s winner came in the 72nd as the England forward scored through traffic after Elversberg gave away possession under high pressing. Midfielder Stanislav Lobotka scored in the 66th.
Espart joined Barcelona’s La Masia academy as an under-10 player and made his senior team debut last season. It was Kane’s 99th Bundesliga goal in 97 matches. The Norwegian struck in the 60th minute at Old Trafford to seal a 1-0 win for 10-man Manchester City over fierce rival Manchester United in the Premier League. Dan Neil scored a double and Rangers beat Celtic 3-0 in the first Old Firm derby of the season — in the Scottish league cup quarterfinals.
