Rafa Benítez seems to be getting the best out of Benzema, the Real Madrid striker netting both goals as Real Madrid beat Athletic 1-2 on Wednesday to move to the top of the table, Sabin replying for the locals. Benzema tops the league Pichichi charts together with team-mate Ronaldo (who got all his five in one match!) and Nolito, who scored the opener in an impressive 4-1 victory over none other than the mighty Barcelona! Iago Aspas picked up a brace for the Galicians as well, and Neymar got a late consolation for Luis Enrique’s side, who drop below their hosts down to fifth. Atlético kicked off the midweek round of games with a 2-0 victory over Getafe on Tuesday evening Griezmann scoring at the beginning and end of the match, and later at night Agirretxe clocked up a hat-trick for Real Sociedad in a 0-3 win at Granada. Elsewhere Borja Bastón picked up a double in Eibar’s 2-2 draw at Levante, and Javi Guerra scored for the second match in a row as Rayo beat Sporting 2-1. (25.09.15)
