Lionel Messi scored a delightful lobbed header in the rout, while David Villa and Pedro also netted for the visitors.Espanyol broke a run of four league losses with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad.Sevilla and Atletico Madrid played out a 2-2 draw at the Estadio Vicente Calderon, with Atletico twice coming from behind to salvage a point.
