Barcelona cruised to a 3-1 victory over Leganes at the Camp Nou on Sunday night to extend their lead in La Liga over Atletico and Real Madrid.
Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring for the hosts in the 32nd minute from a Jordi Alba assist, netting his third goal in his last two games for Barcelona.
However, an in-form Martin Braithwaite pulled one back to draw Leganes level just before the hour mark, poking home from very-close range after Youssef En-Nesyri played the ball in front of goal.
Barca would score two more after that to put the match away though, with Luis Suarez and a substitute Lionel Messi putting the game out or reach for Leganes.
The result puts Barcelona five points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid atop the La Liga table, with Real Madrid nine points behind the leaders in third place.
