Frenkie de Jong also scored for Barcelona, while Carlos Soler netted a consolation goal for the locals.The win lifted Barcelona into fourth place on 42 points from 24 games, tied with Atletico who are fifth on goal difference. Real Madrid top the table with 57 points.
Barca were once again clinical up front, scoring four goals from only six shots on target. They have now netted 10 goals in their last three league games.
"We are beginning to find that efficiency that we were lacking earlier in the season," captain Sergio Busquets told reporters."I hope Aubameyang is that one piece that we were missing up front. He is a great player that arrived hungry because he was not getting many opportunities at his last club. It is a luxury having him in our team."
