MADRID, Nov 04 (AP): Luis Suarez netted his second goal of a 3-2 comeback win at Rayo Vallecano in the 90th minute on Saturday, extending his scoring run with Lionel Messi injured.

Rayo was winning the Spanish league match 2-1 until the 87th when substitute Ousmane Dembele drilled in a headed back pass by defender Gerard Pique, who joined the attack.

Suarez then scored his second goal to complete the fightback when he was left unmarked to stab in Sergi Roberto's cross at the far post.

"The game was very difficult for us, but we knew how to turn it around," Suarez said. "You can lose leagues at grounds like this one."

Barcelona increased its league lead to four points over Atletico Madrid.
