Griezmann, Messi, Suarez on target as Barcelona beat Eibar
Barcelona enjoyed a comfortable win away to Eibar with Antoine Griezmann, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez all on target in the same match for the first time.
Barca, who took the lead on 13 minutes when Griezmann took advantage of a slip from Eibar's Pablo de Blasis to race through and open the lead
Barca doubled their lead on 58 minutes in a move which involved all three of their frontmen.
Frenkie de Jong played the ball to Suarez before it came to Griezmann, who laid off a perfect pass to Messi and the Argentina captain did the rest.
It was 3-0 on 66 minutes when Messi unselfishly played in Suarez when the two were bearing down on Eibar goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic, and the Uruguay international finished off into the empty net.

Mallorca claim stunning win over Real Madrid
Real Madrid's unbeaten start to the La Liga season came to an abrupt and surprising end as Real Mallorca claimed a stunning 1-0 victory at a rocking Son Moix on Saturday to climb out of the relegation zone
The Balearic Islanders had only managed six goals in their opening eight games of their first season back in the big time, but needed just one more to down their illustrious visitors.
It was a cracker too, thrashed home in the seventh minute by Lago Junior who with one swing of his right foot wrote his name into Mallorcan sporting folklore.
The Ivorian might even have knocked Mallorca's favourite sporting son Rafa Nadal's wedding off the front pages, although the tennis great would surely have raised a glass in honour, even if it came at the expense of the club he supports.
Real Madrid, 5-0 winners on their most recent trip to the island in 2012, were without several big names including Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard, but could have no complaints as they failed to function.
