90' 3 minutes have been added on as Barcelona are looking to hang on to their one goal lead

89' HUGE CHANCE! Its Araujo again who wastes the opportunity. He runs on to a wonderful lofted ball behind the defence but prods his shot wide under pressure from the onrushing Bravo

88' Bravo is wasting a bit of time here. Who would have thought Barcelona would be clinging on to the result so desperately at Las Palmas

86' Yellow card for Dani Alves

84' Roque Mela gets a yellow card for a foul on Luis Suarez

83' CHANCE! The referee plays a wonderful advantage and Araujo gets a good chance inside the box. The Spaniard's shot goes centimeters wide. Close to an equaliser there.

81' Barcelona seem off color today and are struggling to maintain a good tempo here

78' Las Palmas still believe they can take something out of this game and they have a little above 12 minutes to do so

77' Araujo almost makes an immediate impact, the former Barcelona 'B' man sends a shot just wide

Stat: Araujo scored 25 goals after in the second divison last season. He has managed only 3 in the La Liga this season.

75' Las Palmas make a change as El Zhar is replaced by Araujo

69' Barcelona make their second substitution of the day as Sergi Roberto is replaced by Thomas Vermaelen

67' The impressive Viera comes off as Lemos comes on for Las Palmas

64' Viera is brought down, with the Las Palmas forward quick to get back to his feet - though perhaps a little gingerly. Neymar is released in behind enemy lines, following a great throughball from Sergi Roberto, but the former is caught just the wrong side of his marker. Offside!

60' HUGE CHANCE! Rakitic deals horribly with a high cross in the box. The ball ends up going to the impressive Viera who strikes a powerful shot which is parried by Bravo. Willian Jose on the follow up only hits the side netting. Big Chance for Willian Jose there

57' Las Palmas surprising enjoy a lengthy spell of possession, before El Zhar gets dispossessed while trying to drift infield from the right-hand side. The hosts switch play from the right to the let, but an eventual throughball into Jose is intercepted neatly by Mathieu.

54' BLOCKED! Neymar sends a cross which evades Suarez who was trying something spectacular and lands at Rakitic's feet. Rakitic's left legged shot is blocked well by the Las Palmas defence

52' Mathieu makes a timely block to deny Jose, before the ex-Valencia defender pummels a rushed clearance upfield! This second half has been very end-to-end thus far, with Las Palmas still managing to fire searching balls into teasing areas. Barca threaten through Suarez, but a throughball from the ex-Ajax striker is cut out.

48' WHAT A SAVE! Vargas saves from point blank range as Suarez shoots straight at the goalkepper. Huge let off for Las Palmas there

Arda Turan comes off as Ivan Rakitic comes on

47' SHOT! Las Palmas start brightly as Jonathan Viera who has been lively throughout shoots from distance. However, it is saved easily by Claudio Bravo

46' The second half is underway

The result is not a foregone conclusion as many thought it would be at the end of half time with Las Palmas troubling Barcelona on many occasions

HT: Las Palmas 1 - 2 Barcelona

44' Las Palmas break threateningly however the resulting shot goes high and wide

43' Why didn't Suarez shoot?! The Uruguayan makes a brilliant run but inexplicably tries to set up his team-mate instead of shooting

41' Neymar is found racing into the penalty area, but the Brazilian's eventual effort comes to nothing! In the aftermath, Arda commits another foul, with the ex-Atletico midfielder on his final warning.

39' GOOOOOOAALLLLLLL ! Neymar scores for Barcelona! Suarez shows some beautiful skills on the by line to set up Messi . Messi's shot is saved brilliantly by Vargas but Neymar smashes in the rebound to get his 18th of the season. Las Palmas 1 - 2 Barcelona

35' Set pieces from Las Palmas are causing Barcelona problem as Bravo had to be really alert

33' Arda Turan gets a yellow card for a foul on Momo

30' The opening half an hour has been positive for the hosts, who have limited Barcelona to only a handful of clear-cut opportunities. Since equalising, Las Palmas have given as good as they've got, with only Neymar looking to find chinks in the home side's armour. Enrique's men are slowly building up a head of steam.

26' WHAT A MISS! Suarez misses a golden chance from just six yards out. Messi curls in a beautiful free-kick from 40 yards staright into Suarez's spot and the La Liga's top scorer heads wide even though he was unmarked. Shocking miss from the usually clinincal Uruguyan

24' Barcelona are really missing the presence of Busquets in midfield here as the relegation-threatened hosts are matching them stride for stride

24' Mathieu is forced into another defensive intervention, as Barca continue to be asked plenty of questions. The hosts are sticking to their usual philosophy of trying to get the ball down and play, with Arda and Iniesta struggling to take control in the midfield third.

22' The referee is forced into action, with the official having to deal with some lashes out towards Neymar already. Las Palmas are really holding their own early on, with the newly promoted side doing brilliantly to match Barca in the midfield battle.

20' It has been a very good start by Las Palmas as they are giving their much vaunted opponents a good run for their money

19' El Zhar scampers down the right-hand side, but the ex-Liverpool winger can only force Mathieu into a stretching near-post block! The hosts threaten once again moments later, but Arda and Sergi Roberto combine defensively to lash the ball away from danger.
