| REAL’S HIGUAIN PUTS PRESSURE ON BENZEMA... |
Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat-trick for Real Madrid at the weekend – staking his claim for a return to the starting line-up.
Higuain had been a prolific scorer for Real Madrid before a serious back injury sidelined him for most of last season - losing his place to Karim Benzema.
Benzema’s rejuvenated form has made him Jose Mourinho’s first choice striker this season. However, an injury to the France striker has given Higuain another chance and his three goals against Espanyol will leave the manager with a dilema.
The win takes Real Madrid to third in La Liga, one point behind joint leaders Barcelona and Levante.
It will be interesting to see if Higuain retains his place at Benzema’s expense when Madrid face Real Betis in their next game.
