Barcelona made three more points in their pursuit for the La Liga title on Saturday as goals from Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba helped them to a 2-0 victory over Eibar.

Jordi Alba saw an effort well blocked away by a visiting defender after Luis Suarez had rounded Marko Dmitrovic before the hosts continued their early pressure. Kike Garcia saw a low effort from a narrow angle well saved by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen before Ivan Ramis could only direct a header straight at the German.

Against the run of play

With 16 minutes of the game gone, Barca took the lead against the run of play. Lionel Messi was allowed to turn on halfway and he sent Suarez scampering away with a fine pass, with the Uruguayan keeping his cool to round Dmitrovic and roll the ball into the empty net. Despite the setback, Eibar continued in the same vein and almost found an immediate response as Fabian Orellana thumped a curling effort against the crossbar from 25 yards. As the first half wore on Joan Jordanwasted a good shooting chance by dragging an effort well wide of the near post under little pressure. Despite Eibar’s dominance it was Barca who came closest as the half drew to a close, Brazilian midfielder Paulinho only managing to head straight at Dimitrovicin the home goal after meeting Alba’s cross, before Messi rattled the post after being fed by Suarez.

Nevertheless, the two sides went into the break level and there continued to be little between them in the second half.
