Real Madrid 4–0 Mallorca

Getafe continued their amazing start to the season by going back to the top of the Spanish first division with a 2-1 win over previously unbeaten Valencia.

Star of the show was Getafe's Riki Sanchez who got the hosts' equaliser three minutes from half time and then made a magnificent run down the left wing to set up Pablo Redondo's winner two minutes from time.

Valencia's David Villa celebrated his recall to the Spanish team by scoring in his fifth consecutive game, with a header after 30 minutes.

However, Villa blotted his copybook by getting sent off in injury time as nerves started to fray.

Real Zaragoza came agonisingly close to ending their 40-year wait for a victory at Barcelona's Nou Camp but finally had to settle for a 2-2 draw with the reigning Spanish champions.

Two goals within four minutes early in the second half from Gabriel Milito and his older brother Diego looked to have put Zaragoza on course for a memorable win.

However, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o got two goals in the last 12 minutes to salvage a point for Barca.

"The players demonstrated that they had great pride in being determined not to lose. Our fans think that every match should be easy for Barca but we do have to work hard every game," said Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard.

Central defender Gabriel Milito opened the scoring after 48 minutes, following a dour first half, by heading home a Savio free kick which had also bounced off the head of Zaragoza's Cani Garcia.

Four minutes later, Victor Valdes punched away a Savio shot but the Barcelona goalkeeper's clearance went to the feet of striker Diego Milito, who had no problems stabbing the ball home from the edge of the six-yard box.

It is the first time that the two brothers from Buenos Aires have scored in the same game since they both became professionals in 1999 and their careers went in separate directions with different clubs in their native Argentina.

Ronaldinho started the fight back for Barca with a penalty 12 minutes from time, after Delio Toledo was harshly judged to have fouled Mark van Bommel.

To add to the perceived injustice, which saw long protests by Toledo and his Zaragoza colleagues, the Paraguayan international defender got his second yellow card and his marching orders.

With their opponents a man down, Barca immediately turned up the pressure.

Eto'o had a shot hit the post four minutes from time but the African Player of the Year found the net two minutes later, taking advantage of Zaragoza's disarray at the back.

"We could even have conceded a third goal but that would have been unfair," admitted Zaragoza coach Victor Munoz.

Munoz added that he felt the sending off of Toledo was not right.

"I agree with the players and I have to say that Toledo's dismissal affected the rest of the game."

Celta Vigo, who started the weekend as league leaders, can regain pole position if they can win at Cadiz on Sunday.
