Luis Suarez scored a spectacular overhead kick to inspire nine-man Barcelona to a 4-0 La Liga victory over Sevilla at the Nou Camp.

Suarez opened the scoring in acrobatic fashion in the 27th minute and goals from Arturo Vidal, Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi - his first of the season from a trademark free-kick - sealed a comfortable victory.

The win was Barca's fourth in a row in all competitions since a shock 2-0 loss at Granada on September 21 and lifts Ernesto Valverde's side to second place in LaLiga, two points behind leaders Real Madrid.

However, the win was marred by the late dismissals of Dembele and Ronald Araujo, the former receiving a second yellow card for dissent after last man Araujo had been sent off for hauling down Javier Hernandez. Relive all the action below:

That's it at San Siro! A big three points for Juventus, who once again assert themselves as the dominant force in Serie A. This was a hard-fought victory, one that takes them top of the table and ends Inter's perfect start to the season.

It was, unquestionably, a close game that could have gone either way. Juventus had the edge in the end, but Inter will challenge them this season.

Late drama at the Nou Camp! Barcelona will win this comfortably but now they'll have to deal with two suspensions. First substitute Araujo is sent off for bringing down Javier Hernandez clean through on goal. 

Then Dembele, already on a yellow card, appears to say something to referee Gianluca Rocchi and gets a second booking as a result.

There'll be three minutes of added time. Nine-man Barcelona should, just about, have enough to hold on.

Banega hacks Suarez down and, despite shouts from the crowd, is only booked. The home supporters are furious with the referee after the earlier incident.

And that's it! Barcelona secure an emphatic, confidence-boosting win over Sevilla to climb to second in La Liga. Clinical finishing and some good fortune in the first half helped, but this is a statement of intent from the Blaugrana after recent criticism.
