Samuel Eto`o helped Barcelona stay top of the La Liga by scoring four first-half goals as the leaders crushed Valladolid 6-0 at the Nou Camp.
Barca`s eighth straight league win gives them 25 points from 10 games, two ahead of champions Real Madrid in second.
Third-placed Villarreal, with 21 points, are at home to Almeria on Sunday when the rest of the Primera Liga fixtures are played.
Eto`o raced through to beat two defenders and open the scoring for Barca in the 12th minute before doubling their lead on the
half-hourwith a volley after a wonderful flowing move.
He picked up Lionel Messi`s pass to round the keeper for the third in the 42nd and slotted home the fourth two minutes later after the Argentina forward`s surging run was blocked and the ball broke free for the Cameroon forward.
Eidur Gudjohnsen netted a delicate chip in the 71st and a sublime passing move ended with Aleksandr Hleb squaring for France`s Thierry Henry to stab home the sixth near the end.
