Back
to league matches at the weekend, with many players taking part in their third
match in seven or eight days. Raúl extended his lead at the top of the
table with another goal on Saturday, taking him up to eight in all
competitions. Kluivert added to his tally on Sunday with the opening goal, but
two from Fran turned the game around and gave Deportivo victory. The left wing
position is proving very profitable for the Gallicians, with Amavisca getting
two a few days ago when he was the incumbent. Olivera kept up his form both
winning and scoring from penalties, and his second in a row and third in the
league to date takes him into our chart this week. However referees may get
wise to his tricks before too long, and with a court case coming up soon after
a bar-room brawl he may be out of action as well. Zaragoza's Yordi got his
fifth of the season to move up to third in our table, and after Zaragoza signed
Drulic and then Bilic for large amounts of money he is demonstrating that they
could have saved their money. (08.10.01) |
