Sergi Roberto scored twice and Raphinha once for Barcelona as it moved three points ahead of fourth-place Atletico Madrid. The Catalan club trails Real Madrid by four points and leader Girona by six points. Madrid visits Alaves on Thursday while Girona is at Real Betis. Almeria is the only team yet to win a Spanish league match this season. The Saudi-owned club hasn't won in 21 straight league games going back to last season.
