Henry stalled
The Cameroonian international scored in his side's 4-0 defeat of Sevilla FC on Saturday night to make it 16 league goals for the season, which equates to 32 points. Eto'o is now level with Arsenal FC forward Thierry Henry, who did not have the chance to add to his tally because his team were on FA Cup duty.

AS Roma attacker Vincenzo Montella remains on top with 17 goals, or 34 points, but was unable to register in the capital club's 3-2 victory against FC Messina Peloro on Sunday. The biggest mover of the week was Uruguay striker Diego Forlán, whose two goals in Villarreal CF's 4-0 win at Real Sociedad de Fútbol moved him to joint eleventh.
