Lionel Messi grabbed his 100th Barcelona goal as the reigning champions beat Sevilla 4-0 to move five points clear at the top of La Liga.
Barcelona could not get past a stubborn Sevilla defence in the first half at the Camp Nou, but the floodgates opened after Julien Escudé's own goal broke the deadlock five minutes into the second period.
The Catalans doubled the lead on 70 minutes when Pedro collected a wonderfully incisive pass from Xavi before lifting the ball over Sevilla keeper Andrés Palop.
And there was still time for Messi to bag his 100th Barça goal with five minutes left and add a second in stoppage time.
