Barcelona unconvincing in win over Eibar, Luis Suarez grabs hat-trick


Three goals from Luis Suarez helped Barcelona overcome a stubborn Eibar side, who had taken the lead through Borja Baston, 3-1.

Borja Baston had given Eibar a shock lead after following up Keko's parried shot, but Suarez cancelled it out 10 minutes later, heading in a cross after good work from Neymar and Dani Alves down the right.Suarez's second came after Neymar danced into the box before unselfishly setting up the Uruguayan finishing emphatically in the bottom corner.The striker then grabbed his third five minutes from time after coolly finishing in the far corner. 

Neymar had a penalty shout turned down in the second half, before Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets combined brilliantly to almost set up Suarez for his hat-trick.Eibar threatened to equalise on the break and Barcelona found themselves down to 10 men after Javier Mascherano was given a red card after talking back to the referee.Suarez then got his third goal two minutes after that to put the game beyond doubt.With that win, Barcelona move up to second in La Liga, while Eibar sit in seventh.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'.
