Zamoras

Keepers rule, OK! No less than ten clean sheets this week out of the twenty keepers in action in the lowest scoring weekend for years. Four games ended goal-less, which must be another record, including Saturday's clash between the league's two giants Barcelona (Bonano) and Real Madrid (Casillas). The others were Rayo Vallecano (Etxeberría) versus Real Sociedad (Westerveld), Celta (Cavallero) versus Osasuna (Sanzol) and Málaga (Contreras) versus Alavés (Dutruel). Esteban kept his place in goal ahead of Mono Burgos at Atlético Madrid and kept out the Betis forwards (thanks in part to the referee), but once again it was Cañizares who captured at least some of the headlines, returning in goal for Spain midweek in the friendly against Bulgaria, and then saving a late penalty in the league from Colsa to keep his goals against column blankety-blank. Finally Reina makes the chart this week after completing his eighth game for Villarreal, despite gifting the equalising goal to Mallorca. (26.11.02).
