Lionel Messi produced a stunning run in the build-up to Luis Suarez's second goal as Barcelona beat Espanyol at the Nou Camp.
The Argentine was in superb form on Sunday evening as Barcelona won their second La Liga game on the bounce, seeing off their city rivals 4-1.
Dancing past four players, Messi saw his effort parried into the path of Suarez, who slotted home simply for the hosts.
It was Uruguayan forward Suarez's second goal of the night having earlier netted in the 18th minute.
Seconds after laying on Suarez's goal, Messi cut through the visiting defence once again to set up Jordi Alba for Barcelona's third, with David Lopez hitting a fine effort in reply for Espanyol.
But Messi sealed the victory on the stroke of the 90th minute as he linked up with Suarez to score the fourth, which now sees Barcelona move up to second in the table - three points behind rivals and leaders Real Madrid.
