Expensive strikers

What do Fernando Torres, Edinson Cavani, Neymar and Radamel Falcao all have in common?

1. They all cost £50m or more

2. They all found the back of the net over the weekend

Torres has come into some good form of late – he scored a brace midweek in the Champions League and put in an energetic display against Manchester City constantly causing problems with his pace and movement. He scored the all-important game winner taking advantage of City’s defensive lapses at the back.

Edinson Cavani scored a clinical double to help PSG earn a point from a disastrous defensive display at Saint Etienne. Colombian Falcao was even more impressive in Monaco’s 2-1 win over Lyon – he had four shots in total in the game, of which three were on target and one found the net.

And I have already mentioned Neymar!

Jose Mourinho

Why you may ask?

For going crazy after Torres’ winner and joining the fans for a jolly ol’ celebration!

Just Jose being Jose.
