Barcelona striker Luis Suarez snapped a goal drought spanning five games by scoring twice in his side’s 3-0 win over Leganes on Saturday to take the Catalans seven points clear at the top of the La Liga table. “Perhaps the result implies we dominated the game more than we actually did,” Barca coach Ernesto Valverde told reporters. “They had their chances, we knew how to cope with the moments when they were going forward and we attacked decisively. Substitute Paulinho poked in the third in stoppage-time for his fourth goal of the season. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid shared a rare goalless draw in the first derby at the Wanda Metropolitano in a result that will have delighted Barcelona.
