Messi's hat trick powers Barcalona past Deportivo

Madrid, Spain - Lionel Messi fired home a trio of goals on Sunday as Barcelona rolled to a 4-0 rout of Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazor.

Coming off a 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid last time out, the Catalans wasted little time finding the back of the net as Messi nodded home an exquisite cross from Ivan Rakitic after just 11 minutes.
The superstar Argentine doubled his team's lead 22 minutes later as he worked his way past several Deportivo defender and chipped it over Deportivo goalkeeper Fabri.


Messi then finished his treble two minutes past the hour mark and it was 4-0 with seven minutes to play thanks to an own goal off Deportivo defender Sidnei.
The result pulls the Catalan club within one point of rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
