Atlético Madrid striker Falcao tore Deportivo apart on Sunday evening, scoring no less than five goals in a 6-0 victory which keeps Simeone's side within six points of leaders Barcelona in the table, and leaves Depor at the bottom of the pack. The Galicians did actually have the better of the opening minutes however, with Bruno Gama in particularly going close, and although Diego Costa headed in Koke's corner to open the scoring, Valerón headed against the upright minutes later. But after that it was the Falcao show, the Colombian forward picking up Koke's pass to make it two, and then collecting Turan's quick throw-in before thrashing a shot past Aranzubia. The second half started with Falcao completing his hat-trick from the penalty spot after Roderick tripped him up inside the area, and after that he went on to score two more, throwing himself forward to head the ball over the line after Aranzubia had pushed up a shot from Turan, and saving the best for last when he cut back from the by-line before turning a shot past the desperate keeper. Five of the best, and although Messi did achieve that in the Champions League last season, nobody has done that in La Liga since Real Madrid's Morientes clocked up a "manita" against Las Palmas some ten years ago.
