Lionel Messi fired in his third goal of the match against Deportivo La Coruna to complete his 22nd hat trick in La Liga.
His third tally of the day all but guaranteed victory for Barcelona as Messi's cut inside the box and left-footed curling shot eluded the 'keeper and smashed into the net.
Perhaps Deportivo defender Sidnei was sick of seeing the Argentine score and decided to take the matter into his own hands by scoring an own-goal to give Barca a 4-0 lead and win.
