Luis Suarez guided FC Barcelona to an 8-0 away win over Deportiva La Coruna at Estadio Riazor on Wednesday night, ending a four-match winless streak in La Liga.
Barcelona desperately needed a win after their poor performances against Real Madrid, Real Sociedad & Valencia. The Uruguayan opened the scoring early in the 11th minute after a corner from Ivan Rakitic & doubled the lead 13 minutes later after a sublime assist from Lionel Messi. Ivan Rakitic then went on to the score-sheet as well, just two minutes into the second half.
Luis Suarez scored two more in the 53rd & 64th minute as he took his goal tally to 30 in La Liga, just one behind Cristiano Ronaldo. Lionel Messi, Marc Bartra & Neymar bagged a goal each as Barcelona humiliated Deportiva at the Riazor. Luis Suarez was declared the man of the match as he ended the game with 4 goals & three assists.
