Gudjohnsen stears Barca clear

A TWO-GOAL blast from Icelandic striker Eidur Gudjohnsen drove title holders Barcelona back to the top of the Spanish league yesterday, with a 4-1 win at Real Mallorca.

The win was completed with late strikes from Andres Iniesta and Santiago Ezquerro after Victor had threatened to make a game of it by netting for Mallorca. It propelled Barca to 26 points from 11 games.

Seville sent Valencia packing 3-0 on Saturday.
