Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has heaped praise on striker Luis Suarez after he scored an acrobatic goal in their win over Levante.

The former Liverpool striker has scored four goals in his last eight games after a slow start to life in La Liga, and Enrique believes that the Uruguayan's upturn in fortunes in front of goal have been good for his confidence.

Enrique told reporters: "[It was] A typical goal from a pure striker, that helps him a lot. There are many times when it is more difficult for players that are closer to goal to score in 90 minutes, but then they play just 20 and score.

"It helps him personally too, although he doesn't need that because he contributes in many things in the attack, and good news he scored."

Suarez joined Barcelona from Liverpool last summer.
