Barcelona striker Luis Suarez happy to be back on scoresheet

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez was happy with his brace in victory at Espanyol.

It ended a goalscoring drought of five games.

He said: "Of course I am happy with the two goals I scored, for what they mean, but I want to make it clear that I wasn't obsessed about not scoring recently.

"They're things which happen in football. The important thing is to help the team, it doesn't matter who scores the goals."

The Uruguayan added: "It was not an easy game at all. Espanyol came out well in the first half and were well organised in defence.

"We couldn't find a solution. But thanks to our intensity, desire and our ambition we didn't give up -- and the goal eventually arrived and calmed us down."
