  • Jordi Alba - 9. With Balde sick and only making the bench, Alba started in the league for the first time this year and became captain after four minutes. Attacked. Crossed to Lewandowski on 52, then scored his first goal of the season, side-footing a Kessie ball in. Crossed for the third. AFP

  • Andreas Christensen - 7. Getting better all the time. Peerless in the air and solid again. Another clean sheet as Barca capitalised on Real Madrid losing at Mallorca to go eight points clear. EPA

  • Frenkie de Jong - 8. Playing well. Headed wide in front of the 77,987 crowd after 15 minutes. Lofted ball forward to Alba led to the third. "We have found the right position for Frenkie de Jong,” said Xavi. “He’s very happy." Reuters

  • Sergio Busquets - N/A. Limped off after four minutes shaking his head after a poor challenge. A sprained ankle. All at Barcelona will be hoping it doesn’t keep him out for long, with two games against Manchester United approaching. AFP

  • Pedri - 7. Poor night by his own stellar standards as he failed to control the game and lost possession. Quick closing Sevilla down during the rare occasions when they had possession and better in the second half – like his team. AP

  • Gavi - 8. Initially most advanced of the four midfielders in a new system used by Xavi Hernandez, but dropped back when Busquets went off. Needed to add goals to his game – and he did that by finishing the best move of the game for Barca’s second and his first of the season. Getty

  • Robert Lewandowski - 7. Got a shot on target after 15. Chances limited against a back five, but super 27th minute shot was well saved. Six shots – but no goals for the top scorer.EPA

  • Raphinha - 8. Headed the ball straight into the arms of Bounou after 55. Involved in the opening goal, then set up the second with the best ball of the game after 71 to Gavi. Scored the third, similar to the second with a ball across goal. “He gives us a lot, and he's an essential player for the team,” said Xavi. EPA

  • SUBS: Franck Kessie - 8 (Busquets, 7'). Unselfish and dropped his shoulder on 20 to beat a man and run at goal, then he released the ball instead of shooting. Lovely control to spot a run and set up Alba for the first goal and involved in excellent build up for the second. EPA
