Barcelona produced another solid performance as they strode to a 2-0 victory in Seville after fantastic goals by Xavi and Lionel Messi.
It was their maestro Xavi who opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a technically-sound free-kick which gave Palop no chance in the Sevilla goal.
Messi doubled the advantage for Barcelona just 7 minutes later. He exchanged passes with Iniesta, took the ball through a defender's legs and lobbed the goalkeeper in typically delicate fashion. It was another moment of genius from Barcelona's magician Messi.
The second half was less spectacular and was littered with mistakes from both sides. Messi had another goal ruled out but Barcelona will be satisfied with the result.
The Blaugrana have now cut the deficit at the top of La Liga to seven points, although Real Madrid take on Malaga tomorrow.
Leo Messi has now scored 31 league goals this season and has 231 goals in total for Barcelona, just four behind Cesar Rodriguez.
