The weekend’s action was extended by an extra game on Monday played between Manchester United and Fulham, and although it was a showpiece, the weekend had goals galore for a number of players in the Goal Cup!
In the French Ligue 1, Toulouse striker Johan Elmander scored a hat-trick away from home to boost his total up by nine points in the Goal Cup! Lyon’s midfielder Kim Kallstrom managed to score two goals to close the gap between himself and team-mate Juninho.
In Portugal Ricardo Quaresma managed to finish off a superb solo run with the outside of his boot to clinch all three points for and maintain FC Porto’s unbeaten run this season.
In La Liga Real Madrid cruised to another victory over Racing Santander with Raul chipping in with another two goals. Iniesta managed to score Barcelona’s only goal to force a 1-1 draw with Espanyol.
In the English Premiership Robbie Keane scored a brace before being sent off on the weekend. Steven Gerrard also managed to continue his goal scoring form as he slotted another penalty to take his total up to seven goals in just over a month and 26 points in the Goal Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to set the world alight with yet another two goals in Monday’s game between Manchester United and Fulham. Ronaldo is also on top form and leads the scoring in the Goal Cup with an incredible 40 points!
The Goal Cup leaderboard has started to spread out ever so slightly as Javi Pardo from Spain takes a three point lead. He is currently on 144 points, but there is still plenty of time to catch him for the rest of the season!
