That is the final action of the match! Barcelona secure another three points to move five points clear of second-placed Real Madrid. Luis Suarez opened the scoring with just 54 seconds on the clock and Lionel Messi added a second four minutes into injury-time at the end of the match.

90'+4

GOALLLL!! Barcelona 2-0 Valencia! The visitors are caught cold as one simple long pass sees Messi through one-on-one with the goalkeeper, he sees his first attempt saved but the rebound falls kindly for the Argentine who tapped the ball into an empty net.

90'+1

YELLOW CARD! The referee feels Bravo is wasting time and books the Barcelona goalkeeper.

SAVE! Barcelona almost grab their second through a Pedro effort but Alvez does well to push the ball wide for a corner!

Neymar and Messi get their lines wrong as the Brazilian loses the ball when searching for his strike partner which draws huge groans from the home crowd.

Valencia come forward with Fuego on the channel but his deep cross is headed clear. The visitors need to make a change if they are to get anything from this game.

Suarez's 54 second goal is still the difference between the sides mid-way through the second period. Valencia missed a penalty and struck the post in the first-half but have been much quieter since the restart.

66'

YELLOW CARD! Otamendi is the third Valencia player to go into the book after a foul on Alves.
