Barcelona travelled to Catalan rivals Espanyol on Saturday night looking to return to the top of La Liga.
A drab opening 45 minutes produced few opportunities, with the pair heading down the tunnel on level terms.
Luis Suarez sent Barcelona ahead early in the second period, however, before Ivan Rakitic doubled the away side's lead in the 76th minute.
Suarez then netted his second in the 87th minute as the Spanish champions returned to the top of the table in style.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
