EPL and La Liga Weekend Recap-Countdown

A good soccer countdown is better than the New Years countdown, isn't it? No? I'll show you:

10. 10 for: Manchester City was losing to Watford 1-0 at Vicarage Road for most of the game, then they hit the gas in the last 10 minutes and went home with a 2-1 win.

9. 9 for: Leicester tied to Bornemouth 0-0 last Saturday to go three games without a win. Last time Leicester spent three games without a win was 9 months ago.

8. 8 for Barcelona's number 8 Andres Iniesta's skill against Espanyol.

1 point for beating the first player... 3 points for beating and putting a second player down... 3 more points for beating the first player again and putting him down this time. And 1 last point for his switch to Dani Alves. Do the match: 1+3+3+1=8.

7. 7 for: Wayne Rooney hadn't hit the target since Oct. 7teen before Manchester United's game against Swansea this past Saturday. But guess what? The striker scored the game-winner for United in the 7ty7th minute.

6. 6 for: 6 feet 1 Thomas Partey netted the goal that put Atletico Madrid on top of La Liga as they defeated Levante 1-0.

5. 5 for: A physical Espanyol side held Barcelona goalless, they used 5 yellow cards to do so.

Top four goals:

4. A marked Yaya Toure blasts a left foot volley in the top corner of the net to bring City leveled with Watford.

3. Aaron Lennon chests Romelu Lukaku's header before firing the ball in the side-netting. Make sure you got your football glasses on since the lead-up of the goal: Leighton Baines' back-heel to Tom Cleverley, who sends a cross-field ball to Lukaku.

2. Rooney flicks Anthony Martial's cross in the far post. Louis Van Gaal thought his striker's goal was going to be number one. "He scores also a fantastic goal," the United boss said. "With his left foot behind his right foot and then -- you cannot imagine what a goal is that."

This next goal is even harder to imagine, Van Gaal:

1. Youngster Carles Gil hits a scissor kick past Sunderland keeper Vito Mannone, after teenager Adama Traore swiftly played the ball around Wes Brown to bend a cross in. Keep it up, young Spaniards.
