Pichichis
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.
