Argentine midfielder Lionel Messi's heroics charged Barcelona to a 5-0 victory against Levante, taking the team to top of the La Liga table.
Messi set up Neymar to give the visitors the lead before missing a first-half penalty after he was fouled by Loukas Vyntra, who was sent off. Barcelona doubled their lead through Ivan Rakitic, before Messi's pass allowed Sandro Ramirez to make it 3-0.
Pedro made it 4-0 and Messi added a fifth in the 75th minute of the match, The BBC reported.
Messi has been directly involved in more goals than any other player in La Liga this season, scoring three goals and assisting four.
Sevilla had earlier leapfrogged Barca after a 3-1 win at Cordoba but the 22-time champions of Spain went two points clear at the summit after their biggest win since Enrique took charge in the summer, the report said.
