BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — David Villa scored twice as Barcelona ripped Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid apart in a 5-0 rout Monday to go top of the standings thanks to a record fifth straight "clasico" win over its bitter rival.
Xavi Hernandez and Pedro Rodriguez put the defending champion 2-0 ahead inside 18 minutes before Villa scored a second-half brace. Substitute Jeffren Suarez scored in the 90th to seal it in front of nearly 100,000 fans at the Camp Nou stadium.
Barcelona's speed and quick-touch passing game frustrated Madrid throughout as it recorded its biggest national derby victory since a 5-0 win here during the 1993-94 season.
Barcelona now leads Madrid by two points with 34 points from 13 games after a seventh straight league win.
