European Weekend Rewind: Higuain nets another hat-trick, City goes top and more

By IAN HOLLIDAY

There are better strikers than Gonzalo Higuain, but there may not be any in better form right now. On Saturday, Higuain scored his third hat-trick in four matches to lead Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory over Real Betis.

It was the striker's second hat-trick in as many La Liga matches, bringing his goal total to eight on the season, behind only fellow Argentine Lionel Messi for the league lead.
