Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto’o both struck twice as Barcelona thrashed 10-man Deportivo La Coruna 5-0 at the Nou Camp to amass a record total of 50 points at the league’s halfway stage.

Lionel Messi gave Pep Guardiola’s side the lead with a fine individual strike after 21 minutes and Henry headed the Catalans two up shortly afterwards following a fine cross by Dani Alves.

Eto’o then added a third four minutes before half-time to put the league leaders out of reach at the break.
