Spanish La Liga

A magical first-half onslaught from Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain ensured Real Madrid remain at the summit of La Liga after a 4-2 triumph at Getafe. Barcelona, meanwhile, needed two late goals to see off Osasuna 2-0, in a display which wasn't flash but good enough. NFL jerseys

David Villa scored the only goal as Valencia beat Malaga to keep up their push for third spot, while Mallorca could only draw with Santander. Fifth-placed Sevilla, who sacked Manolo Jimenez earlier in the week, slumped to a dismal 1-1 home draw with bottom-club Xerez.

Down the wrong end, none of the bottom clubs could get victories, with 19th-placed Tenerife conceding late to blow a golden chance at three points drawing 2-2 with Villarreal. Meanwhile, 14th-placed Osasuna's loss to Barca means they've claimed just 2 points in their last 7 outings.
