Barcelona maintained its 100 per cent start to the season, with Gabriel Jesus and Jules Kounde also hitting the back of the net after Gordon's second-minute opener.

Gordon carried his recent form from the international break back to Barcelona and scored with just 78 seconds on the clock. He had to skip through a number of challenges but eventually snuck his low shot under David Soria and into the back of the net.

The England international almost turned provider 12 minutes later, cutting inside from the left to bend a lovely cross into the box, but Dani Olmo's glancing touch sent the ball wide.

Gavi saw a glancing header saved by Soria before Jesus doubled Barcelona's advantage 30 minutes in. Zaid Romero was caught on the ball in his own box, and the Brazilian slotted it into the bottom-left corner.

On the stroke of half-time, Rodri floated a cross into Kounde, who had beaten the offside trap to be completely free on the edge of the six-yard box, but he dawdled over the shot, making things easy for Soria.

Gordon could have had a second shortly after the break, racing on to Lamine Yamal's throughball, but Soria rushed to the edge of his box to smother the chance.

A short corner routine in the 73rd minute caught out Getafe again as Yamal whipped in a right-sided delivery and Kounde ghosted in behind and tucked home his second big chance.

Yamal could not get on the scoresheet himself, but he came close in the closing stages, with his volley curling narrowly wide of the far post.
