Barcelona striker Luis Suarez scores for Uruguay in friendly

Barcelona's Luis Suarez scored twice for Uruguay in an international friendly against Oman on Monday to end a lengthy drought.

The striker, who bit Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup and is banned from all football-related activity until October 26, was allowed to play today as it was just a friendly.

His two goals - one a bobbling left-footed finish across goal, one a delicate right-footed dink - were his first since he scored twice against England on June 19 in Brazil, ending a drought of 116 days without a goal.

Suarez joined Barca from Liverpool this summer for around £75m and could make his debut in the El Clasico match against Real Madrid on October 26.
