Robert Lewandowski scored his first goals in La Liga as Barcelona kickstarted their season with a 4-1 win at Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Lewandowski, a summer signing from Bayern Munich, had endured a frustrating debut eight days earlier when Barca were held to a 0-0 draw by Rayo Vallecano.

But he took just 45 seconds to find the net in San Sebastian when he produced a neat left-footed finish to turn Alejandro Balde's low cross into a goal.

Alexander Isak drew Real level six minutes later but Ousmane Dembele restored Barca's lead before Lewandowski, playing on his 34th birthday, slotted home from 10 yards to make it 3-1.

After assisting Barca's second and third goals, Ansu Fati scored the fourth himself.

Barca were good value for their victory, having had 59% of possession and registered 15 shots, with seven on target.
