Suarez scores 100th La Liga goal as Messi reaches new milestones

Luis Suarez reached 100 goals in La Liga as Barcelona dispatched Real Betis 5-0 at the Benito Villamarin on Sunday.

The striker scored twice against Quique Setien's side to become only the second Uruguayan to manage a century of goals in Spain's top flight, after former Atletico Madrid man Diego Forlan, who scored 128 in his career.

Suarez's first goal came in the 69th minute, volleying Ivan Rakitic's cross off the turf and into the bottom-right corner to give his side a three-goal lead.

And with a minute to play before stoppage time, Suarez reached the milestone as he blasted the ball high into the net from 12 yards out to end the night.
