Cristiano Ronaldo takes pole position in Golden Shoe race


The Portguese scored in his side's 3-1 win over Real Zaragoza to pull clear of Lionel Messi, who had a frustrating weekend

Cristiano Ronaldo's strike five minutes into the second half of Real Madrid's win over Zaragoza was enough for the Portuguese to overtake Trans Narva's goal-hero Aleksandrs Cekulajevs in the race for the golden boot.

Ronaldo's arch-rival Lionel Messi endured a more frustrating weekend, as his Barcelona side limped to a goalless draw against Villarreal.

Robin van Persie's two penalties in Arsenal's FA Cup win over Aston Villa do not count in the race, so the Dutchman remains six points behind the Argentine in fourth.

Seydou Doumbia's continued involvement at the African Cup of Nations has allowed Burak Yilmaz, who netted in Trabzonspor's victories over Eskisehirspor and Ankaragucu, to move into fifth place.

Mario Gomez and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar both scored one goal each, ensuring the Bayern Munich striker remains ahead of his Schalke counterpart.

Demba Ba, another striker on international duty at the African Cup of Nations, has slipped behind Huntelaar, level on points with Olivier Giroud, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lukas Podolski, who were all on the score-sheet for their clubs over the weekend.
