Barça 10-1 Granada: Top ten

Barça 10-1 Granada: Top ten

There's simply no stopping the women's team as they run away with the game against Granada

Barça were taking no prisoners on Saturday against Granada. In a perfect performance at the Johan, they made it four wins out of four with a superlative display of attacking football on a day that captain Marta Torrejón was honoured on her 20th year in the elite of Spanish women's football.

The game itself got off to the perfect start when Ewa Pajor netted her third goal of the season after just two minutes. But despite many chances, it would not be until the 35th minute that they extended their lead when Marta's corner was volleyed home by Alexia.

After a slow start, the goals would eventually start raining down. Graham started her own particular show when a penalty on her was converted by Alexia, and then her shot was turned goalward by an opposing defender before the Norwegian laid on the assist for Pajor to make it 5-0. Within the space of little more than ten minutes, a slender 1-0 lead had become 5-0.

Keira Walsh had a goal disallowed for offside before former blaugrana Ornella scored a lovely consolation goal for the visitors. But it was all Barça from there on. Fridolina Rolfö added her name to the list with a brilliant solo goal, Graham Hansen finally got her own name on the scoresheet off an Aitana assist and then Ewa Pajor completed her first hat-trick for the club.

Eight goals wasn't enough. Aitana, today coming on as a substitute, scored a screamer on 78 minutes and a penalty on Kika was converted by Alexia deep into injury time. Double figures. Wow!
