Luis Suarez, Barcelona Rediscover Winning Ways vs. Eibar

Barcelona returned to winning ways in La Liga as they beat 10-man Eibar 2-0 thanks to goals from Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba.

Lionel Messi set up Suarez, who rounded goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic and slotted home after just 16 minutes.

However, it was a tough game for Barca, as Eibar caused problems all afternoon despite the dismissal of Fabian Orellana midway through the second half.

Alba then made the game safe with just minutes of normal time remaining as he fired home after Dmitrovic had denied Messi.

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde named a strong team for the game, with Andres Iniesta, Messi and Suarez all starting and Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele on the bench.
