Lionel Messi hat trick sees Barcelona top of La Liga with Luis Suarez brace as Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 6-1 at the
Camp Nou to return to the top of the table in emphatic style.
The
Uruguayan got the ball rolling with an early goal and Gerard Pique
doubled the lead shortly after the break, before Messi scored a treble
inside 12 minutes which took him one hat trick clear of Cristiano
Ronaldo.
Both sides had their right-backs sent off, with Tito
getting two yellow cards for Rayo and Dani Alves getting a straight red
for bringing down Alberto Bueno, who scored a consolation goal for the
visitors, only for Suarez to pounce again in stoppage-time.
This
was a merciless performance from Luis Enrique's side, who go one point
clear at the top of the table after Real Madrid lost at Athletic Bilbao
on Saturday, reclaiming top spot for the first time in 2015.
And
Messi's hat-trick -- his sixth of the season -- takes him level with
Ronaldo at the top of the league's scoring charts with 30 goals from 25
starts.
