MADRID (AP) — Robert Lewandowski continues to make scoring look easy after joining Barcelona from Bayern Munich. He kept his calm on Sunday when a Valladolid defender moved in front of him and blocked his view inside the area. The veteran striker patiently waited for a gap and then quickly used his backheel to gently send the ball into the far corner for a beautiful goal. Barcelona’s top signing this season found the net twice to lead the Catalan club to a 4-0 rout of Valladolid in the Spanish league. Real Madrid later relied on Karim Benzema to maintain a perfect start with a 3-1 win at Espanyol.
