Lionel Messi reportedly scored twice as Barcelona reached the top of La Liga beating Sevilla.
Argentina forward Messi scored either side of half-time, with a powerful shot from the edge of the area and a curled effort from similar range, while substitute Cesc Fabregas sealed victory with a chip from close range as Sevilla rued a host of missed chances.
According to the BBC, the win moved Barcelona top of La Liga on goal difference, with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid level with them on 57 points.
Messi had not scored from open play in the league since September, having missed the end of 2013 with a hamstring injury, but showed signs of returning to his best form, the report added.
