Messi scores twice as Barca return to top of La Liga

Barcelona scored three goals in the space of nine first-half minutes to brush aside Sevilla 3-0 and return to the La Liga summit for a couple of hours at least.

Lionel Messi bagged a brace after Luis Suarez had opened the scoring as the Catalan giants moved above rivals Real Madrid, who will reclaim top spot if they win at Leganes later on Wednesday night.
