Ominous news for Spain’s other pretenders as last year’s “Zamora” Jan Oblak is already ahead in this season’s top goalkeepers chart after Atlético thrashed Celta 0-4! His was one of only three clean sheets in an otherwise high scoring weekend, Sergio Asenjo the only one to match him as Villarreal won 0-2 at Málaga. Athletic’s Kepa also kept his goals against column to zero though, the Spanish under 21 international given a first run out by Valverde in place of Iraizoz. Barcelona meanwhile are already on their third keeper, new signing Cillessen replacing Ter Stegen after he picked up an injury in training, and there were two other (unforced) changes between the sticks, Quique Sánchez Flores bringing in his new boy Diego López to take over from Roberto, and Pako Ayestarán preferring Diego Alves to Mat Ryan. Elsewhere Eibar’s Riesgo was sent off with only just over half an hour gone in the match at Granada, Yoel coming on to make his first appearance for his new side. (12.09.16)
