LaLiga 2019-20, Barcelona 5-2 Real Betis: 5 Hits and Flops

#4 Hit: Loren Moron

Moron created Betis' first and netted a wonderful second while persisting as a nuisance for Barca

I could have picked a handful of Barca players at #4 but that would be doing forward Loren Moron's display a real disservice. The 25-year-old created Nabil Fekir's opener with a defense-splitting pass that left Gerard Pique and their backline in all sorts of disarray while silencing the Nou Camp after letting fly from distance with a special individual effort after 79 minutes.

The overall reaction from supporters would have been completely different had Betis still been in the game at that point, but most chose to stand and applaud a brilliant finish from one of the very few visiting players who persisted working hard despite their increasingly large deficit. Netting his 15th La Liga goal, it arrowed beyond Marc-Andre ter Stegen into the top corner and was just what he deserved.

Elsewhere, he won possession on three occasions, completed one tackle, interception, blocked shot and clearance while also winning four duels and was constantly making himself a nuisance even despite Barca's second-half surge.

In 33 league appearances last term, he netted six goals and created one assist as Betis finished 10th. This season, he already has two goals and an assist after two appearances. Should he sustain this level of productivity in the final third, Betis have themselves a gem on their hands.
