FC Barcelona - Real Betis live updates

FULL-TIME: Barcelona 4-0 Real Betis

This has been a great show of strength from Barcelona, who could have won this match by an even bigger margin. This game was lost for Real Betis as soon as that first goal went in.

Just two minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.

This result will move Barcelona back to top spot in La Liga, following wins for Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid earlier today. Today will have seen three different teams in first position.

That was easy enough for Bravo. Cejudo takes aim from about 20 yards out, but his effort is tame and the Barcelona goalkeeper can make the simple save.

Enrique makes his final change of the match, but it's Roberto who comes off. That is slightly surprising. Messi, Neymar and Suarez will get the full 90 minutes for Barca tonight.

Barcelona sub: Sergi Roberto OFF, Munir El Haddadi ON.

That fourth goal had been a long time in coming. Barcelona have been on top since the restart, but had been frustrated by the performances of Adan in the Real Betis goal.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Barcelona 4 (83 mins - Luis Suarez) Real Betis 0. That was a little lucky, but Barcelona have their fourth. Neymar's backheel flick finds Suarez in behind the Betis defence, and he finishes past Adan from close range.

Having said that, Neymar is perhaps fortunate to still be on the pitch. His elbow on Cejudo right at the very start of the match could have seen him shown a straight red card.

Neymar has been outstanding for Barca tonight, but he;s still looking for the goal that will cap his performance. As things stand he only has a missed penalty kick to his name!

It's somewhat remarkable that Barcelona aren't further ahead this evening. When Suarez added a third goal just seconds into the second half, the floodgates had appeared to have opened.

YELLOW CARD: Dani Alves (Barcelona)

Real Betis sub: Ruben Castro OFF, Rafael Van Der Vaart ON.

RATTLED OFF THE CROSSBAR! Messi has set his range from freekicks, after a few efforts before, but this time he finds the woodwork! I think the crossbar is still shaking after that!

ADAN DENIES SUAREZ FROM CLOSE RANGE! Neymar plays through his teammate, but Suarez waits too long to pull the trigger and the keeper comes out to smother the shot.

That would have been one of the goals of the season. The link-up play between Messi and Alves on the right wing was exquisite. It was almost laughable, that's how good it was.

LOBBED ON TO THE CROSSBAR! Exhibition stuff from Barcelona gives Alves the chance at the back post. The full-back tries to lob the keeper but his shot bounces off the bar.
