Barcelona opened a 10-point lead in La Liga with a 2-0 win away to Eibar on Saturday.

Luis Suarez opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Lionel Messi played a through ball into the box and the Uruguayan rounded the keeper to score.

Eibar's hopes of an equaliser took a hit when Fabian Orellana was sent off with a second booking in as many minutes midway through the second half, the latter coming after he punched the ball away in frustration.

And Jordi Alba wrapped up the win by slotting in a loose ball at the near post for Barcelona's second goal with two minutes to play.

The result gives Barca a double-digit lead atop the table ahead of Atletico Madrid's game at home to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
