Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scored as Barcelona came from behind to beat nine-man Atletico Madrid and go three points clear at the top of La Liga.


Atletico, who started the day level with the defending champions, took an early lead when Koke fired home.


But Messi slotted in the equaliser after 31 minutes and Suarez raced clear to score his 19th league goal of the season eight minutes later.


Atletico had Filipe Luis and Diego Godin sent off for bad challenges.
