Larsson scored for Barcelona with a fine first-time shot after Ronaldinho had threaded a marvellous ball through the back four.

Elsewhere, Athletic Bilbao scrambled a 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Cadiz despite having defender Fernando Amorebieta sent off in the 18th minute.

Midfielder Tiko scored the winner from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time after Alejandro Varela was red-carded for handling on the line.

Six points separate the bottom seven teams with Malaga bringing up the rear on 22 points after their 1-1 draw at Real Betis.

Cadiz have 25 points with Betis, Alaves and Bilbao all on 26. Mallorca have 27 and Real Sociedad 28.
