Heroes of the week

Just a small stop in Spain this week, but it’s an important one: it’s Giuseppe Rossi scoring a double! Woo hoo! Left-shot one-timer and close-range toe-poke after a beautiful set-up, those were Joe Red’s winning ingredients against Numancia this week-end. What better way to come back from injury and give the Yellow Submarine the win? Rossi now totals 13 goals in La Liga.
