Philippe Coutinho scored a sensational goal for Barcelona tonight as the La Liga giants swept aside Girona in a 6-1 win.
Coutinho had already enjoyed a successful night prior to his goal having set-up Luis Suarez for Barcelona’s fourth goal of the night on the 44th minute.
Come the 66th minute however it was time for Coutinho to register his own effort, and he did in spectacular style.
The Brazilian magician cut inside from the left-flank to curl a sensational effort into the right corner of Yassine Bounou’s goal.
Barcelona went on to complete their rout over the ninth placed La Liga team with Luis Suarez completing his hat-trick on the 76th minute concluding a 6-1 victory after Barca had initially fell behind to an early goal in the third minute.
