Another four-goal bore from last weekend. CSKA’s Vágner Love was able to match the tallies of Gonzalo Higuaín and Samuel Eto’o in a 4-1 rout of FC Moscow.
CSKA supporters will enjoy this video. Fans of CSKA and death metal will love it. If you’re not in the latter group, you many want to turn the sound down.
Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuaín scored four goals at the weekend, to lift his team to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Málaga. Normally this would be a unique feat, something really out of the ordinary. Well, it wasn’t. Not last Saturday. Not in La Liga.
15 minutes after the final whistle went in Madrid, Barcelona kicked off against Valladolid. Cue a first-half goal spree from Samuel Eto’o - four goals in 45 minutes. Higuaín didn’t rack up his quartet till the 79th minute.
There’s some great football in this clip, plus all the goals in a 6-0 Barça win.
Come back tomorrow for another clip.
On Saturday, Málaga took the lead at the Bernabéu on three separate occasions. But every time they scored, Gonzalo Higuaín found an equaliser for Real Madrid. In the 79th minute, the Argentinian striker sealed a 4-3 win for Madrid with his fourth goal of the game. The video highlights show all seven strikes and Sergio Ramos’s red card, which left Madrid with only ten men for the whole of the second half.
The fact that two of Higuaín’s goals were penalties shouldn’t lessen the feat of scoring four times in one game. After all, he earned both spot-kicks himself. He now has nine La Liga strikes to his name this season. That puts him in third place in the top goalscorer table, four goals behind Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o.
