It looked like being another low scoring weekend in the league, with only twelve goals in the first eight games. But a Real Madrid side missing top scorer Van Nistelrooy certainly changed that, Bernd Schuster's boys putting seven past a stunned Valladolid, with Luis Aragones's outcasts Raúl and Guti getting a brace apiece. And later in the evening Valencia beat Betis 3-1, David Villa scoring two for the locals and Edu getting one back for the Andalusians. Earlier in the day Diego Forlán scored his first goal in five games, and like the buses in virtually every city in the world, a second one came along minutes later. (11.02.08)
