Rakitic helps Barca beat Athletic Bilbao to keep pace with Real Madrid and Las Palmas


Barcelona have joined Real Madrid and Las Palmas at the top of La Liga, after their nervy 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Stadium on Sunday. 


The Catalan giants controlled the early stages, and went close through Lionel Messi and Arda Turan before Ivan Rakitic opened the scoring in the 21st minute after heading in Luis Suarez's inch perfect cross. More to follow Despite their early dominance, Barcelona were made to sweat for the three points after a late surge from the home side saw them go close through a free-kick from midfielder Benat, but they weathered the storm to keep their one goal advantage.
