    LUIS SUAREZ (Barcelona) – 8.62

    Luis Suarez’s hat-trick led Barcelona to a 6-0 thrashing of 10-man Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

    The Uruguayan slotted in Arda Turan’s cleverly weighed pass, then nodded in the sixth to leave Barcelona two points behind Atletico Madrid.

    Suarez was also heavily involved for the second goal as he played in Neymar to dink his 19th goal of the season past substitute ‘keeper Iago Herrerin.

    As a result of his scoring exploits, Suarez now moves out in front as La Liga’s top-scorer with 18.

    NEYMAR (Barcelona) – 8.09

    The Brazilian played with the enthusiasm and skill of a future Ballon d’Or winner, scoring one and assisting two during Barcelona’s victory over Athletic Bilbao.

    Neymar was a constant threat down the wing, and registered his goal on 30 minutes after a stunning through ball from Suarez.

    He epitomised a voracious workrate for the fourth goal, sending in a cleverly weighed cross from the right flank for Rakitic to net from close range.

    KARIM BENZEMA (Real Madrid) – 8.05

    Another spectacular performance from the French striker as he contributed two goals and an assist in Real Madrid’s win over Deportivo la Coruna.

    Benzema produced a special finish for the second goal as he acrobatically swivelled to volley home Gareth Bale’s cross.

    Just before the break, a neat phase of play from Isco freed Benzema to roll in his 20th goal in 19 appearances this season.

    IAGO ASPAS (Celta Vigo) – 7.75

    The Spaniard was in tantalising form in Celta Vigo’s 4-3 triumph over Levante.

    He set up John Guidetti’s opening goal, and added a third from a solo effort on 57 minutes for his ninth goal of the season.

    If Aspas continues to apply finishes such as this beauty then expect more goals to follow for the second half of the season.

    GARETH BALE (Real Madrid) – 7.68

    The Welshman has been at the heart of Real Madrid’s performances the past few weeks, proving to be a menacing threat for his opponents.

    He continued his mesmerizing form to score his seventh headed goal of the season from Toni Kroos’s corner on seven minutes to get Los Blancos off to a perfect start against Deportivo la Coruna.

    Five minutes later, he was at the business end of another effort, delivering an accurate cross for Kenzema to drill home.

    Despite holding a commanding lead, Madrid suffered a setback when Bale pulled up just before the break and had to be replaced by Jese Rodriguez.
