JAKARTA After defeating Las Palmas 2-0 at the opponent's home at Gran Canaria Stadium, early Sunday morning WIB, Barcelona managed to reclaim the top of the La Liga standings.

A pair of Barcelona goals were scored by two substitutes, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres. Thanks to this result, Barcelona returned to the top of the table with 54 points after Atletico Madrid took the top spot following a 3-0 win over Valencka hours before Barcelona played.

"On the other hand, Las Palmas is on the edge of the relegation zone by ranking 17th with 23 points," the Spanish League wrote on its website on Sunday.

As usual, Barcelona immediately dominated possession since kick-off. However, a number of opportunities Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski failed to break the deadlock in the first half.

Hansi Flick then entered Dani Olmo to replace Fermin Lopez in the second half. The decision was made because in the second half Barcelona could also break the deadlock.

Olmo opened the scoring in the 62nd minute which started with a impressive build-up when Olmo got an assist from Yamal in the penalty box.

He then tricked the opponent before closing the ball into the host's goal. 1-0 for Barcelona.

Towards the end of the match, Barcelona doubled their win from Ferran Torres' goal after receiving a clever pass from Raphinha.
