An own goal from Jorge Pulido gave Barca the lead and Suarez extended their lead by scoring for the first time in five games in all competitions after the video assistant referee (VAR) overturned an offside call from the linesman. Huesca's Alex Gallar pulled one back before halftime to make it 3-2 but any hope of a revival from the visitors was soon killed off by three Barca goals in 11 minutes from Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic and another strike from Messi. "We were sleeping at the start of the game but their goal helped wake us up and we reacted well," Suarez said. "It's good to be top of the league before the international break, but the best thing about this win is seeing how well we played." The last time they scored eight times in a home league game was in an 8-0 thrashing of Osasuna in 2011.
