Barcelona have moved back to the top of La Liga courtesy of a come-from-behind 4-1 victory over Sevilla this evening.

The hosts took the lead after 15 minutes when Alberto Moreno finished off a fluid move with a shot from inside the box that took a deflection off Marc Bartra on its way in.

They could have doubled their advantage just six minutes later when Ivan Rakitic's free kick was met by Carlos Bacca, but his header came back off the inside of the post.

The duo swapped roles to create another golden opportunity in the 32nd minute. Bacca got the better of Gerard Pique before finding Rakitic, who put his shot wide when he should have done better.

Barcelona took full advantage of such wastefulness in front of goal, levelling the score just two minutes later when Lionel Messi's free kick was nodded in by Alexis Sanchez, although the winger did appear to have started in an offside position.

Messi turned goalscorer for the visitors' second right on the stroke of half time, picking the ball up just outside the box before firing a fine half-volley into the corner.

Sevilla had a good chance to draw back level five minutes after the restart when Vitolo robbed Martin Montoya of possession, but he couldn't steer his eventual shot on target.

Victor Valdes was then called upon to deny Kevin Gameiro before Barcelona sealed the victory with a third goal, Messi again picking out the bottom corner with an accurate finish.

The Argentine forward switched back to being creator for the visitors' next chance, finding Adriano inside the box only for the Brazilian to fire his strike high and wide of the mark.

They did get their fourth two minutes from time when Sanchez found Cesc Fabregas in the area, and the Spaniard lifted the ball over the keeper to cap off the victory.
