Barcelona striker Suarez hits double in Uruguay friendly win

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez hit a double for Uruguay in their friendly win over Oman yesterday.

Suarez scored his first goals since returning to action following his biting ban with a brace in Uruguay's 3-0 friendly win over Oman in Al-Buraimi on Monday.

Suarez, issued with a four-month suspension for sinking his teeth into Italy defender Giorgio Chellini at the World Cup, slotted home the opener in the 57th minute and added a second with a deft chip 10 minutes later. He was taken off 13 minutes from time, before Jonathan Rodriguez completed the scoring.

The goals took Suarez's tally for Uruguay to 42 in 79 appearances.
