| Herrera moves clear at the top after his team's 4-0
victory against Oviedo. With his team mate Javi Moreno the top scorer in the
Spanish league as well, Alavés are flying high. Cañizares and
Lopetegui let in a goal each, par for the course, but Ricardo and particulary
Molina lost a bit of ground letting in two and three respectively. Mora, Juanmi
and Pinto kept clean sheets to move up the table, as did Arnau and Leo Franco,
who are not in the table having not played enough games. Leo Franco in
particularly is doing well, having only let in two goals in five games, and
Mallorca's revival coincided with him taking over from the injured Roa. The
Argentinian keeper is to undergo surgery on his shoulder next week, and if it
is as bad as they think, he may have to give up his place to Mono Burgos, who
is still on Mallorca's payroll even though there was no room for him in the 25
man squad. (06.11.00) |
