Luis Suarez is so hot right now.

After finding the net four times against Deportivo La Coruna in midweek, the Uruguayan striker isn't resting on his laurels. Quite the opposite, actually.

Suarez followed up his Deportivo shellacking with another quartet of tallies on Saturday, scoring four times in a 25-minute spell against Sporting Gijon. His effort helped Barcelona claim a 6-0 win and, on a personal note, put him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the Pichichi.

The Blaugrana star now sits on 34 La Liga goals this campaign, three clear of his Real Madrid counterpart.

Directly involved in 11 tallies in his last two matches (eight goals, three assists), Suarez has found the net 53 times in all competitions this season.

Four days ago, the Pichichi was Ronaldo's to lose. How quickly things change.
