| Barcelona's trusty trio of forwards all struck in the second half
as the league leaders defeated a stubborn Numancia side 4-1 to move
provisionally 15 points clear at the top of the Primera Liga.
Barca were frustrated in the first half by the plucky promoted
outfit, but imposed themselves with a classy second-half performance.
Lionel Messi grabbed a brace, while Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry
also scored to hand Pep Guardiola's side an eighth consecutive league
win and a 17th in their last 18 games.
