It was tough work for Barcelona at times but in the end the scoreline reflects their dominance. It was getting a bit nervy towards the end of the game but now the Catalans are just a point from the top of the Spanish league table.

FULL TIME: Barcelona 4 Almeria 1

Iniesta lines up the shot from 20 yards but Esteban is equal to it, pulling off a decent save at full stretch. Barcelona will go to within a point of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with this result.

Finally, Barcelona are in complete control of this game. Now Tello has the chance to find the net, but he snatches at the opportunity and drags his shot wide of the target. That was the chance for five.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played.

GOAL! Barcelona 4 (89 mins - Xavi) Almeria 1. The scoreline is now looking how it should have looked a long time ago! Xavi curls in a wonderful shot from the edge of the box, finding the bottom corner.

Barcelona sub: Neymar OFF, Cristian Tello ON.

YELLOW CARD: Marcos Tebar (Almeria)

And that should be that for Barcelona. It took them long enough but they finally have their third goal and it came from a corner kick!

GOAL! Barcelona 3 (84 mins - Carles Puyol) Almeria 1. Finally, Barca have the third goal! Messi hits the bar with a header from a corner kick and Puyol is on hand to turn home the rebound with the keeper missing.

Good save by Esteban! The work works its way out to Pedro on the right side of the Barcelona front three, but his shot is straight down the throat of the Almeria keeper, who turns it round the post.

Messi scored Barcelona's second goal of the game in the 23rd minute. Since then they've looked lethargic in front of goal and have lacked a cutting edge. Messi has fallen out of the game completely.

YELLOW CARD: Verza (Almeria)

Good chance for Almeria! Jonathan breaks the Barca offside trap and tries to play the ball into Barbosa, who is unmarked in the centre of the box. But the ball is too close to the keeper and Valdes claims!

Barcelona sub: Cesc Fabregas OFF, Andres Iniesta ON.

Only three weeks until Barcelona face Real Madrid in the second Clasico of the season. They'll need to show more of a cutting edge against Los Blancos. This has been a very strange performance from Barca.

Almeria have a chance to swing a freekick into the box, and with Corona off the pitch that's exactly what they do. But the delivery is poor and following a ricochet the ball ends up in Valdes' hands.
