Barcelona surged back to the top of the La Liga table in emphatic fashion with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou.

Real Madrid hit the summit earlier on Saturday courtesy of a 4-1 victory over Eibar, but Luis Enrique's men weren't fazed and put together a dominant performance.

Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a beautifully taken strike on 24 minutes before Neymar notched the coolest finish of the season 15 minutes later to double Barca's lead.
