Suarez and Neymar scored again to lead Barcelona to a 2-1 victory at Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.

Suarez struck six minutes into the match, and Neymar re-established the visitors' advantage before halftime by finishing off a rebound of a shot by Lionel Messi after Las Palmas striker Willian Jose had made it 1-1.

Barcelona increased the gap to nine points before second-place Atletico Madrid hosts fourth-place Villarreal on Sunday.

But to win their eighth Liga match in a row, Barcelona needed Las Palmas to miss two clear chances when a late push by the club in danger of falling back into the second division came up empty.

''In order to win titles, you have to pull out games like these,'' Suarez said.

Elsewhere, Celta Vigo edged Eibar 3-2 to leapfrog the Basque club into sixth place.

Espanyol ended an eight-round winless streak by beating Deportivo La Coruna 1-0, and Sporting Gijon drew 1-1 at Real Betis.
