INCREDIBLE, 8 GOALS IN 2 MATCHES ?

Barcelona 6-0 Sporting Gijon: Luis Suarez nets four as MSN all score to help Barcelona shrug off pressure from the chasing pack and return to the top of La Liga

• Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a smart header over the Gijon keeper to give Barcelona a half-time lead
• Luis Suarez gets his first from close range as he finishes off a delightful move by the Catalans
• The Uruguayan forward added two more from the spot and his fourth late on for Barca's 14th goal in two games
• In between Neymar added a fifth - also from 12 yards - as Sporting were reduced to 10 men
• 
• Luis Suarez struck four times, three days after he last scored four times, as Barcelona routed Sporting Gijon to go back top of La Liga. 
  They had been knocked down to third by Atletico and Real Madrid earlier in the day, but the Uruguayan hitman is in brutal form and Barcelona now too, lurching out of their mini-crisis firstly with the midweek 8-0 humiliation of Deportivo La Coruna and now this six-goal haul.
  Luis Enrique says he holds the Asturian side close to his heart, having begun his career there, but his men showed no mercy as they were dragged left and right, beaten black and blue, by Barcelona’s star striking trio.
