Spanish La Liga News :: Messi leads Barcelona to 3-0 win at Sevilla and a six-point lead in La Liga

Posted on 2008-11-30 by Gooner

Lionel Messi led Barcelona to a 3-0 victory over Sevilla on Saturday and a six-point lead at the top of the Spanish league.

The game was played at a frantic pace with few clear chances but it was Barcelona who made the most of theirs with Messi once again the outstanding player.

Samuel Eto'o who opened the scoring after 20 minutes latching onto a loose ball in the area and firing home.

In the second half, both sides were reduced to shots from distance before Messi took centre stage.

The Argentine ran onto a ball from midfield and volleyed into the corner from 25 yards to extend Barca's lead after 78 minutes. He completed his brace in injury time, rounding the keeper before slotting home. Sevilla's night was made worse by the controversial dismissal of Fabiano for elbowing Sergio Busquets.
