Jordi Alba finished off Elche with another Braithwaite assist
Barcelona sealed victory over Elche thanks to Jordi Alba. The full back took advantage of Braithwaite laying the ball off with his head to beat Edgar Badia from point blank range.
Jordi Alba got his eighth goal so far this season and he scored to seal the clash against Elche. Barcelona struggled initially, but then comfortably beat their visitors.
Braithwaite had assisted Lionel Messi earlier in the contest which saw the Argentine break the deadlock.
The Barcelona captain was actually the one who played an aerial pass to Braithwaite. The Dane then put it on a plate for Alba who scored.
He volleyed home from close range as he was falling to the floor and that put Barca 3-0 up after 73 minutes.
