Big news at the top of Serie A where Roma have replaced Fiorentina at the summit after a 2-1 away win over their title rivals.

Khouma Babcar scored a late goal for Fiorentina but earlier efforts by Mohamed Salah and Gervinho earned Roma the points.

Roma are two points ahead of Fiorentina, Inter Milan and Napoli who all have 18 points.

That is Luis Suarez's first hat-trick since he scored a treble in an 8-0 win over Cordoba on 2 May.

Ten-man Barca draw level with Real Madrid on points at the top of La Ligga after a hard-earned win. Eibar leave with their heads held high. 

A pushing contest between Neymar and Ander Capa results in both players being booked. This game is ending in a flurry of cards.

Four minutes of additional time.

Eibar have put up a brave fight but they are going away with nothing. They can at least take this battling display into the rest of their season. They started today in sixth spot - and they deserve to be there on this evidence.

Has Javier Mascherano just handed Eibar a way back into this? The former Liverpool is shown a straight red card for something he has said to the referee after Eibar had conceded yet another free-kick.

Barca are down to 10 men for the final few minutes.

Barca are 10 minutes away from drawing level on points with Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. This has been much harder than Luis Enrique's side could have envisaged. Eibar have been terrific. 

Barcelona are getting closer and closer to a third goal. Another free-kick just outside Eibar's box. Neymar this time gives way to Ivan Rakitic who is not far away.

Luis Suarez can smell a hat-trick. He attempts an audacious lob from long range which flies into the crowd behind the goal. The Uruguay forward smiles and raises his hand in acknowledgement to team-mates who were screaming for a pass.

Credit to Eibar. They have not given up on this. They are prodding and probing the home defence but they are beginning to leave gaps at the back.

Gonzalo Escalante is playing a dangerous game. He's just been booked and is then involved in an off the ball collision with Neymar just outside Eibar's area. The crowd is howling but the referee is not interested.

Neymar's free-kicks have been disappointing this game. His latest fails to clear the wall. Are Barca saving themselves for El Clasico next month? This has been a scratchy performance by their usual high standards.

Another foul on Neymar. Another free-kick to Barca within shooting range.

Best debuts you have seen?

Luis Suarez's double means he has scored nine goals in all competitions for Barcelona this season. Barca certainly know they have been in a game. Eibar are not holding back when it comes to challenges with Neymar on the end of a crunching tackle by Gonzalo Escalante which earns the Eibar player a yellow card.,
