Unbeaten Barcelona continued their imperious progress in the Primera Liga when they came from a goal down to beat Deportivo Coruna 2-1 at the Nou Camp on Saturday. The win sent the Catalans nine points clear of Sevilla at the top of the table and allowed them to equal their best ever start to a season with eight wins and two draws after the first 10 matches.
Frank Rijkaard’s side looked to be suffering the after-effects of their exertions in Tuesday’s 2-1 Champions League win over AC Milan when they fell behind to a fine goal from midfielder Fran in the seventh minute. But a little over a quarter of an hour later they were back on level terms, Xavi slotting in from 10 metres out and then Eto’O ran the ball into the net to score his ninth goal of the season after Giuly had picked up a miscued clearance.
