体坛英语资讯：Barca turn on the style to sweep past Las Palmas

MADRID, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona produced one of their best displays of the season to beat a disappointing Las Palmas 5-0 in the Camp Nou Stadium to move into second place in the Liga Santander ahead of Sevilla, who play Real Madrid on Sunday.

Despite resting players such as Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta and Neymar, Barcelona controlled the first half and stifled any attempts from Las Palmas to play their usual passing game.

The opened the scoring thanks to Luis Suarez's 101st goal for the club after 14 minutes as the Uruguayan produced a first time finish from an Andre Gomes pass.

Gomes was having his best 45 minutes in a Barca shirt and was only denied a goal himself by a fine save from Las Palmas keeper Javi Varas.

Varas kept his side in the game with two further saves before the break, tipping a Leo Messi free kick over the bar and denying the Argentinean when he went one on one in the last minute of the half.

Messi provided several moments of breathtaking skill in the first 45 minutes, but the Las Palmas keeper denied him the goal his play deserved, but he was in the right place at the right time to tap home Barca's second of the match after Varas was unable to hold Jordi Alba's low cross six minutes after the break.

It was 3-0 just six minutes later as Suarez netted his second following a lovely piece of control and a curling shot and with Las Palmas looking ragged Arda Turan also good on the scoresheet, sliding the ball home after Varas had saved Suarez's initial shot.
