Real Betis go top of La Liga

Real Betis are top of La Liga after a 4-3 win over Zaragoza last night, their fourth straight victory of the season so far.

Santa Cruz and Salva Sevilla (penalty) put the home side two up inside twelve minutes but Zaragoza pulled one back through Juárez to make it 2-1 at half time.

Beñat (penalty) and Santa Cruz made it 4-1 shortly after the break and Betis seemed to be cruising to victory. However, with around twenty minutes to go, the Betis keeper Casto was ordered back to the dressing room and two goals in two minutes from Juan Carlos brought Zaragoza right back into the game.

Betis held on, though, just, and are now top of the pile.
