Chelsea, Juventus, Bayern continue impressive starts
SPAIN
Two goals in the space of five first-half minutes settled a Barca side who had looked edgy before going in front. Promoted Celta Vigo are top with six points following Saturday's shock 3-2 win over Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, with Galician neighbours Deportivo Coruna second on goal difference after their 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid the same day.
Real came from behind to lead 2-1 with goals from Brazilian duo Ronaldo and Julio Baptista, but Antonio Nunez levelled and Uruguayan midfielder Fabian Canobbio wrapped up the points for Celta. FRANCE Two goals on his debut from Brazilian striker Fred helped leaders Olympique Lyon stay in control of Ligue 1 with a 2-1 home win over Monaco. The 21-year-old newcomer, playing his first match since joining from Brazilian side Cruzeiro last month, opened the scoring for the champions from close range on six minutes. He doubled Lyon's advantage with a superb header five minutes into the second half. Lyon, chasing an unprecedented fifth successive title, stay three points clear of second-placed Paris St Germain, who beat Racing Strasbourg 1-0 courtesy of a first-half goal by Ivory Coast midfielder Bonaventure Kalou. Olympique Marseille ended their dismal run with a 1-0
victory at Sochaux thanks to a second-half goal by Nigerian midfielder Wilson
Oruma. They had gone 14 league games without a win, stretching back to last
season.
