In-form Luis Suarez scored the winner as Barcelona came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over nine-man Atletico Madrid and move three points clear at the top of La Liga yesterday.

Atletico started the stronger with Koke putting them ahead after 10 minutes before Lionel Messi equalised for Barca on the half hour.

Suarez struck his 31st goal in as many games after 38 minutes and a wild challenge from Atletico full-back Filipe Luis earned him a red card before half-time. Diego Godin was also dismissed for a second booking.
