Two strikers in the
headlines this week, Fernando Torres and Saviola. The former has not been
hitting the target much recently, but things could have changed after he scored
once in the cup against Osasuna, and then twice in the league at Celta. A
timely return given the upcoming friendly international against England? And
the latter has been making the best of the chances Frank Rijkaard has given
him, getting both goals in the cup tie at Alavés and then coming on to
score against neighbours Espanyol at the weekend. It didn't do much good
though, Luis García and Tamudo on the scoresheet as the Periquitos beat
their arch rivals in Montjuic for the first time in five years.
Kanouté and Van
Nistelrooy top our chart though, the Sevilla striker converting a penalty
despite a defeat against Mallorca, and the Real Madrid man getting the only
goal as his side beat Zaragoza. Other famous names found the back of the net
this weekend as well, including Diego Forlán, Morientes and Soldado, who
got two for Osasuna as they thrashed Betis 5-1. (15.01.07) |
