Eto’o and Deco on target as Barca extend lead

BARCELONA extended their run of victories to a club record 15 with a hard-fought local derby win over Espanyol on Saturday, when goals from Eto’o and Deco either side of half-time gave them a 2-1 win.

The victory means Barcelona now enjoy a four-point lead over nearest challengers Osasuna, who dropped their first home points of the season yesterday when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Racing Santander.

French midfielder Ludovic Delporte put Osasuna in front on the half hour but Santander striker Antonito equalised.
