Iago Aspas scored a four-minute hat-trick as Sevilla romped into the fifth round of the Copa del Rey with a 5-1 win over Sabadell.

The Andalusian outfit held a 6-1 advantage from the first leg but Sabadell took the lead through a 22nd-minute penalty from Juan Collantes.

That was as good as it for the Segunda Division side, though, as Kevin Gameiro equalised 10 minutes before the break and Aspas scored in the 59th, 60th and 62nd minutes to blow the visitors away before Gerard Deulofeu made it 11-2 on aggregate nine minutes from time.

Barcleona have one foot in the last-16 after a 4-0 win over third-tier Huesca in the first-leg of their fourth-round tie.

Ivan Rakitic opened the scoring after 12 minutes and Andres Iniesta doubled the lead four minutes later before Pedro Rodriguez made it 3-0 six minutes before the break.
