Putellas scored her second and Barcelona's fourth five minutes before the break. Not to be outshined by Putellas, Oshoala also scored her second in the 59th minute to Lluis Cortes ladies a five-goal advantage.
Further strikes from Mapi Leon and Aitana Bonmati added gloss to the scoreline for the Spanish champions.
The win sees Barcelona maintain their 100% record in the Spanish top-flight with 12 wins from 12 matches. La Blaugranes are well on course to retain their title as they are currently five points clear at the top with two games in hand.
