Alena takes Barcelona closer to title, Avila produces moment of magic and Correa strike defeats Valencia – The best of La Liga

Barcelona have moved one step closer to their 26th La Liga Santander title after a 2-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Carles Aleñá opened the scoring early in the second half, collecting Sergio Roberto’s pass after a trademark Luis Suarez dummy. The 21-year-old took the ball in his stride into the penalty area before calmly placing a left-foot finish past Fernando Pacheco.

Elsewhere, Ezequiel Ávila scored a goal of the season contender against Eibar to earn Huesca just their sixth win of the season.

Enric Gallego gave the home side the lead after 54 minutes with a clever back heel finish.
