The Uruguayan opened the scoring by turning in a fine cross from Jordi Alba, and his strike partner was on hand to seal three points by converting a rebound from close range
Liga leaders Barcelona were made to sweat in the Canary Islands, but finally prevailed over determined Las Palmas thanks to goals from Luis Suarez and Neymar.
The free-scoring Uruguayan netted his 25th league goal of the campaign after just six minutes, and Luis Enrique’s men looked set to waltz to victory.
Willian Jose, however, upset the balance by equalising almost instantly afterwards, before Neymar fired home a rebound following Lionel Messi’s saved shot.
Barca temporarily enjoy a nine-point advantage at the summit ahead of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid’s games later in the weekend.
