Depor too hot to handle

Football

AFP, Madrid
Uruguayan striker Walter Pandiani scored in his eighth consecutive game to help Deportivo La Coruna back to the top of the Spanish first division after thrashing Atletico Madrid 5-1 on Saturday.
Pandiani now has six goals to his name in the league, after scoring in every game of this campaign so far, and has also found the net in Deportivo's last two Champions League outings.
The victory took Deportivo back to the top of the Spanish first division with 15 points although they may only last 24 hours in pole position as unbeaten Valencia, who have 13 points, visit Barcelona on Sunday.
"The first half was more or less equal. We had a bit of luck with the second goal from Romero but I think we deserved this result after all the work we put in during the second half," said Deportivo coach Javier Irureta.
By contrast, the loss could consign Atletico to the relegation zone by the end of the weekend, as the three teams below them all
play Sunday.
Atletico coach Gregorio Manzano tried to find some consolation in the showing despite the emphatic defeat.
"The team left its skin on the pitch and never gave up. People are going to look at this result and wonder what happened but I prefer to look at the more positive aspects," said Manzano.
"And not every team we are going to play will be 'Super Depor'. The team are still united. We are working hard to and are going in the right direction."
Fran Gonzalez put Deportivo ahead after just five minutes, the Galicians' club captain finishing off some good work by Victor Sanchez.
Atletico's Argentine defender Matias Lequi levelled the scores six minutes later and the visitors gave Deportivo some nervous moments for a short spell before Deportivo's poise returned midway through the first half.
Enrique Romero put them back in front 10 minutes before the break although Atletico defender Carlos Aguilera was credited with an own goal as Romero's shot took a slight deflection off the former Spanish international.
Deportivo sealed the game within 11 minutes of the second half.
After Juan Carlos Valeron and Romero had romped through the midfield, Sergio Gonzalez let rip from 25 metres with a thunderbolt which gave Atletico goalkeeper Mono Burgos little chance on 50 minutes.
Six minutes later, Pandiani got his memorable goal, taking advantage of a dispirited Atletico defence to fire home Deportivo's fourth goal from the edge of the area.
Next week at Barcelona, Pandiani will try to equal the Deportivo club record of scoring in seven consecutive league games, achieved by the Brazilian striker Bebeto in the 1992-93 season.
Atletico had to play the final 10 minutes a man short after second-half substitute Javi Moreno, who had only been on the pitch 20 minutes, picked up his second yellow card.
Deportivo added to Atletico's embarrassment with a fifth goal two minutes into injury time from winger Lionel Scaloni.
Struggling Real Zaragoza leapfrogged over Atletico thanks to their 1-1 draw at Villarreal.
Villarreal started promisingly with Victor Fernandez scoring direct from a free kick after just five minutes but newly-promoted Zaragoza equalised through David Villa midway through the
first half.
The hosts preserved their unbeaten record but have yet to win at home this season and will be left to regret the myriad of chances that Jose Mari Romero failed to convert in the second half.
Real Betis salvaged a deserved point with a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao after their Brazilian winger Assuncao scored with less than a minute of normal time left.
Betis had dominated the first half but Athletic had earlier gone ahead a few seconds after half time, when a denfensive mix up by Betis allowed the ball to run free in their own area.
Athletic striker Tiko Martinez was unmarked and on hand to sidefoot the ball into the net for his third goal of the season.
