Neymar and Luis Suarez continued their fine goal-scoring form for Barcelona as Luis Enrique’s side provisionally moved top of La Liga with a hard-fought 3-0 win over Villarreal at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
The Brazil captain broke a determined Villarreal defence after a fine Sergio Busquets pass on the hour, while Suarez netted from the penalty spot 10 minutes later.
Neymar then capped the win with a goal-of-the-season contender, flicking Suarez’s cross over his head with a stunning turn and volleying in five minutes from time to cap a memorable display.
An Inaki Williams-inspired Athletic Bilbao continued their upturn in form after beating Espanyol 2-1 to record a fifth consecutive win in all competitions.
Williams netted his fifth goal in a week in spectacular fashion by flicking the ball over Enzo Roco and firing a volley into the top corner after just eight minutes.
Hernan Perez levelled for Espanyol early in the second period, but Raul Garcia’s header 26 minutes from time handed the Basques a deserved three points.
