Lionel Messi was once again the hero for Barcelona at Camp Nou on Sunday, scoring a brace in the 4-2 win over Valencia in La Liga.

Eliaquim Mangala gave the visitors a shock lead but was sent off on the verge of half-time, giving away a penalty in the process. Luis Suarez had tied things up by then, and Messi gave his team the lead from the spot.

Munir El Haddadi tied things up a minute later, but Messi struck again in the second half. Andre Gomes added an insurance goal late.
