Barcelona beat Espanyol two nil in Spain's La Liga on Saturday, increasing its lead in the tournament provisionally.

Sport24 reported that star strikers Lionel Messi and Neymar combined their talent to score both goals for Barcelona, which played the last 36 minutes of the game with ten players after left-back Jordi Alba was booked for protesting against the referee's decisions.

Messi's incisive pass started a move that Neymar finished off in the 17th minute after Suarez had coolly let the ball run between his legs.

Suarez then crossed for Messi to double the visitors' advantage in the 25th.

Barcelona leads the league by five points. Second-placed Real Madrid will take on Celta Vigo on Sunday.
