Barca can now look forward to their home game against Sevilla next week which will hopefully be far more civilised.
Barca’s victory leaves them second in LaLiga, one point behind Real Madrid who have a game in hand. However, several sides below them can overtake them if they win their games this matchday.
Getafe stay 11th with seven points from seven games. They have nothing to worry about.
Barcelona come away with the win from an ill-tempered game that badly lost its way in the last half hour.
Getafe actually played well in the first half, getting a decent chance through Rodriguez to take the lead. However, Suarez gave Barca the lead with a lovely finish and Junior’s goal killed the game as a contest early in the second.
The game degenerated into disputes after that, leaving Getafe without the energy to capitalise on Lenglet’s dismissal.
