Luis Suarez and Junior Firpo fire Barcelona to their first away victory of the La Liga season after beating Getafe 2-0 on Saturday at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

For coach Ernesto Valverde, the pressure eases just a little, and the fact they notched this victory without Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele, both sidelined with thigh injuries, is another source of encouragement.The first half was something of a non-event until Suarez lifted a well-judged lobbed finish over the top of David Soria in the Getafe goal after being played through over the top by the outstanding Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

Barcelona looked in control and doubled their advantage four minutes into the second half when Firpo pounced on a spilled shot from Perez to find the back of the net before Clement Lenglet’s 84th-minute dismissal for two yellow cards came too late to give them any real advantage.Getafe were unbeaten in their last eight home LaLiga matches; however, Barcelona had won on 10 of their 14 previous visits to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in LaLiga, more than any other visiting sideErnesto Valverde will welcome Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan on Wednesday’s Champions League clash before hosting Sevilla next weekend.
