Barcelona 1-0 Espanyol: Luis Suarez nets winner as two sent off in derby
Barcelona moved back to within one point of Real Madrid in La Liga with a fiery 1-0 win over Espanyol, whose relegation was confirmed.
Luis Suarez struck the only goal (56), lashing a loose ball into the net shortly after both sides had been reduced to 10 men in a frantic start to the second half.
Barca's teenage forward Ansu Fati was sent off for a reckless tackle five minutes after coming off the bench but Espanyol's numerical advantage lasted only three minutes as Pol Lozano was dismissed, also following a VAR review.
Barca, still chasing a third consecutive Spanish title, are on 76 points after 35 games, while Real Madrid are top with 77 and can restore their four-point advantage when they play host to Alaves on Friday.
Espanyol, one of Spain's most prestigious clubs, were relegated for the first time since winning promotion back to La Liga in 1994.
Barca had produced one of their best performances of the season by hammering Villarreal 4-1 away on Sunday but they looked sluggish at an empty Nou Camp, which normally would have been in full voice on derby day.
Espanyol frustrated their more illustrious neighbours in the first half with a five-man defence and created the better chances. เดิมพันฟุตบอล10บาท
