Pichichis

The goals started to flow this weekend, with 30 in all in the ten league matches. There were some surprising results though, and none more so than in the Nou Camp, where newly promoted Hércules beat Barcelona 0-2 with two goals from Paraguay's Nelson Valdez. No less than eight goals in Zaragoza, where the locals were beaten 3-5 by Málaga. Incredibly the visitors scored all their goals in the first 35 minutes, with Fernando and Juanmi netting two each. At 17 years and a few days, Juanmi beat Bojan's record as the youngest player to score two goals in a first division league match. The leading league "Pichichi" to date though is Diego Forlán, who scored again to help Atlético to hold on to top spot, even though Llorente got one back for Athletic late on. The league's other big scorers this weekend were Villarreal, who beat Espanyol 4-0 with two from Rossi and one each from Borja Valero and Nilmar, and Getafe, who won 4-1 against Levante with two goals and two assists from Gavilán.
