Back to form for the
mid-week round of league matches with 36 goals, double the weekend's tally.
Real Madrid started things off with a last minute 3-2 win over Getafe,
Higuaín scoring twice to cancel out an early goal from Madrid's ex
striker Soldado. The following day though Barcelona proved they will not be
cowed by their rivals, Iniesta scoring one and making three more for Eto'o,
Xavi and Henry in a 4-0 victory over third placed Sevilla.
Eto'o currently leads the
Liga "Pichichi" chart with 27, but Villa moved to within two of him after
scoring a brace at Betis (his sixth in four games), and Forlán is not
far behind either after converting a penalty against Racing. Little good it did
Atlético though as the Cantabrians struck five, with Zigic rounding
things off late on. Elsewhere both Llorente's were on target to give their
respective sides (Athletic and Villarreal) much needed victories. (24.04.09)
