Most of the top boys were rested as first division sides played their opening matches in the Spanish cup mid-week. Sevilla though took their tie with Ciudad Lorqui seriously, Luis Fabiano netting twice and Jesús Navas (tipped for a call-up for Spain very soon) also on the scoresheet. Barcelona's Pedro is making history, and his two goals against Cultural Leonesa means he has now scored in all five competitions that his side have played. If he gets one in next month's World Club Championship he will set a record which will be hard to beat. Elsewhere Valladolid's Diego Costa got the winner against Mallorca to give his team hope of a place in the last sixteen.

The rest didn't do them much good though as none of our top ten were able to score at the weekend, although Luis Fabiano moves up the chart after he notched up his third of the week at Xerez. Rossi got his first since day two as Villarreal finally got their act together against Tenerife, and Higuaín came to the rescue of Real Madrid after their recent bad run, netting both goals against Getafe. Barcelona's Keita continued his good form with his fourth in two weeks against Osasuna, and Bilbao's Javi Martínez returns to our chart after he got the only goal against Atlético Madrid. The lowest scoring weekend of the season to date though, with only 21 goals in the ten matches. (02.11.09)
