Barcelona extended their unbeaten run against Elche to 22 matches with a 3-1 win at the Olympic Stadium.
The Blaugrana put together some lovely moves in the win at home, marking their ninth consecutive victory over the visitors.
Elche started the match brightly, but their early confidence was undone by defensive mistakes. After 9 minutes, a misplaced pass allowed Alejandro Balde to surge down the left and find Lamine Yamal inside the area.
Barcelona doubled their lead 2 minutes later. Fermin Lopez capitalised on a slip from Adria Pedrosa, broke into the box, and squared the ball for Ferran Torres to tap in from close range.
