00:00Robert Lewandowski continued his red-hot form with two goals as Barcelona thrashed Sevilla to restore their three-point La Liga lead.
00:08Lewandowski, 36, took his tally to 14 goals in 12 games in all competitions and 10 in his past six as Hansi Flick's side produced an emphatic response to Real Madrid's 2-1 win at Celta Vigo on Saturday.
00:20Barcelona, who have won nine of their opening 10 league games, led 3-0 at half-time for the third match in a row after Lewandowski scored either side of Pedri's spectacular first-time strike.
00:31Lewandowski tucked his 24th-minute penalty into the bottom corner after Refinha went down under minimal contact from Pique Fernandez.
00:39Pedri smashed in from the edge of the box just four minutes later, before Lewandowski moments earlier denied at close range by Origen Nyland added his second by meeting Refinha's pass.
00:49Poland striker Lewandowski is now the joint third-highest scorer of all-time across Europe's top five leagues, level with Jimmy Greaves on 366 and behind only Cristiano Ronaldo, 495, and Lionel Messi, 496.
01:03Pablo Torre scored twice late on either side of Stanislao Dumbo's consolation for the visitors, who were no match for a free-flowing, youthful Barcelona, for whom half the starting outfield players were aged 21 or under.
01:15Substitute Torre, 21, scored a deflected fourth and added his second from a direct free-kick after a Dumbo got in behind the Barcelona defence to score with Sevilla's only shot on target.
01:26There was more than the goals for the home crowd to celebrate at the Olympic Stadium, Barcelona's temporary home during the new camp renovation as the returning Gaby received a warm reception 11 months after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, ACL.
01:39Flick's side followed their first defeat of the season against Osasuna by beating young boys 5-0 in the Champions League and Alaves 3-0 in La Liga before the October international break.
01:49Barcelona now face two huge games next week, when they host Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday before visiting title rivals Real on Saturday.
