MADRID: Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o produced a world-class finish to fire Barcelona to a 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday as Pep Guardiola's side closed to within three points of leaders Valencia.
After demolishing Atletico Madrid 6-1 last time out Barca were hungry for more but the goals weren't as forthcoming and it was left to Eto'o to provide the breakthrough on 63 minutes with his sixth goal of the campaign.
The 27-year-old controlled a lofted ball majestically before unleashing an unstoppable left-footed volley worthy to win any match.
