Suarez helps Barcelona turn up heat on Madrid

Luis Suarez was again on target as Barcelona kept up the pressure on Spanish league leader Real Madrid Saturday.

Barcelona’s 3-1 win at Granada on goals by Suarez and Lionel Messi was overshadowed by little-known Alberto Bueno netting four goals in 16 minutes in Rayo Vallecano’s win.

Bueno struck four times from the 23rd to the 38th minutes to lead Rayo’s stunning 4-2 comeback win over Levante.

Suarez scored his third goal of the week before setting up Messi as Barcelona moved provisionally a point behind Real Madrid, which hosts Villarreal Sunday.

He also played a part in Barcelona’s first goal when Ivan Rakitic finished off his rebound.

Elsewhere, bottom-place Stuttgart earned a 1-1 draw in Hannover.
