Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o both struck twice as Barcelona thrashed
Deportivo La Coruna 5-0 at the Nou Camp to amass a record total of
50 points at the league's halfway stage.
Lionel Messi gave Pep Guardiola's side the lead with a fine individual
strike after 21 minutes and Henry headed the Catalans two up shortly
afterwards following a fine cross by Dani Alves.
Eto'o then added a third four minutes before half-time to put the
league leaders out of reach at the break.
Henry struck his second of the night late on from close range and
Eto'o blasted home the fifth from the penalty spot after Deportivo
goalkeeper Daniel Aranzubia had upended Carles Puyol.
The visitors were forced to finish the game with 10 men after Aranzubia
was sent off for his challenge on the Barca captain.
