Barcelona-Las Palmas LaLiga 2017: report, reaction, goals

Barcelona eased to a 5-0 win over Las Palmas on Saturday afternoon to move into second place and close the gap on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga to two points ahead of the match between the leaders and Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán.

Las Palmas were never really at the races in Camp Nou and only managed a single shot on target – a weak effort from Kevin-Prince Boateng – while also failing to prevent Barcelona from enjoying the lion’s share of the ball.

Goals from Luis Suárez (2), Leo Messi, Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal wrapped up a straightforward victory for Luis Enrique’s side, which was without Gerard Piqué, Andrés Iniesta and Neymar as the Barça boss juggled his squad to avoid burn-out during a gruelling set of January fixtures.
