Alexis sanchez got his seventh goal of the season to ensure that Gerardo Martino completed his first 100 days as Barcelona coach without defeat, albeit thanks to a subdued 1-0 win over Espanyol at the Nou Camp.
Barca had to wait until the 68th minute to break down their city rivals when Alexis Sanchez was left with a simple tap-in after clever trick-work from Neymar.
It was a rare incisive moment from Barca but enough to ensure they opened a four- point gap at the top of the Primera Division ahead of this weekend's fixtures.
Martino, who began his reign with eight successive league wins, saw his side dominate possession in the first half, but Espanyol effectively got bodies into the
box to frustrate their advances.
