Barcelona thrash Sevilla to go eight points clear in La Liga

Barcelona put up a fantastic display at the Camp Nou on Sunday to thrash Sevilla 3-0 in a La Liga encounter.

With the win, the Catalonians climbed eight points clear at the top of the table after second-placed Real Madrid were stunned by Mallorca earlier on Sunday.

Jordi Alba opened the scoring in the 58th minute after Barca had endured a frustrating goalless first half.
