The defender Jordi Alba felt victory at Eibar was vital to their La Liga title bid but also added a personal touch to his goa
Jordi Alba dished out some late Valentine's cheer by dedicating his goal in Barcelona's 2-0 win at Eibar to his girlfriend.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring in the 16th minute against the run of play and Eibar did plenty to make La Liga's leaders feel uncomfortable, although Fabian Orellana undermined their efforts with a needless 66th-minute red card.
Alba was on hand to seal the points two minutes from time and later told reporters his second top-flight strike of the season doubled up as a gift to his significant other.
