Striker Luiz Suarez produced an absolutely scintillating performance as he provided two assists and a goal to help Barcelona beat Granada in their La Liga tie on Saturday at Los Carmenes.
Midfielder Ivan Rakitic put Barca ahead in the 25th minute following a pass from Suarez before the Uruguayan international scored shortly after the break.
However, Fran Rico's penalty in the 53rd minute raised the hopes for Granada before Barca talisman Lionel Messi added a third from a second assist by Suarez, the BBC reported.
With the win, Barca have reduced the gap on pace-setters Real Madrid to one in the La Liga points table with 59 points.
