Eto'o double puts Barcelona in fourth position
10/24/2005
MADRID, Oct 23 (Reuters): Two goals from Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o helped champions Barcelona to a 3-0 home win over high-flying Osasuna in the Primera Liga Saturday.
Eto'o scored twice in seven minutes at the start of the second half to take his tally for the season to nine.
France winger Ludovic Giuly also poached a third goal near the end but it was Argentine youngster Lionel Messi and Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho who stole the show.
Messi's pace tormented Osasuna's defenders all night while Ronaldinho had a hand in all three goals.
Barcelona moved up to fourth in the table with 13 points, two behind leaders Real Madrid and second-placed Osasuna who are level on 15.
