Barcelona vs Getafe, La Liga: Final Score 5-2, Barça cruise to important home win

Barcelona are back in third place and continue to control their own destiny in the La Liga title race thanks to a 5-2 win over Getafe at Camp Nou. Barça were far from their best and conceded some silly goals, but scored when needed and grabbed all three points at home.

FIRST HALF

Getafe came to Camp Nou with a clear plan: not play football. The visitors set up in a back four that looked a lot like a back six most of the time, and they could not offer any threat at all to Barça in the opening minutes.
