Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann were all on target in a convincing 4-1 home win over Alavés on Saturday which ensured they will finish 2019 top of La Liga. Griezmann put the hosts ahead in the 14th minute with a wonderful first-time strike into the bottom corner from a Suárez cutback and Arturo Vidal also knocked home a pass from the Uruguayan to round off a dominant first-half display.
Alavés midfielder Pere Pons pulled a goal back in the 56th minute with a diving header, leading to brief period of disarray for the home side, who were fortunate not to concede an equaliser. But Messi eased their nerves with a magnificent curling strike from outside the box to restore the two-goal cushion in the 69th minute and Suárez finally got on the scoresheet with a penalty in the 75th.
