Barcelona had to come from behind to beat Rayo Vallecano in what was a scintillating encounter. A set of 4 goals for the Brazilian Neymar, 2 of which came from the penalty spot put Barcelona in the lead and that’s where they stayed for the rest of the game as Suarez added one of his own. Rayo did score another one in the 86th minute but it didn’t affect the result.
