Luis Suarez took his tally of La Liga goals to 17 so far this season on Saturday as he slotted Barcelona in front against Eibar, but he owed a lot to Lionel Messi.

The hosts had started the game well, pinning Barca back for spell but with 16 minutes gone all their good work was undone.

Lionel Messi picked up the ball on halfway and set his striking partner away with an inch-perfect pass.

Suarez was in behind and as he bore down on the goalkeeper he had the calmness to skip around him and roll the ball into the unguraded net.
