Atheltic 4-3 Osasuna



Stunning strikes
At San Mamés, spectators were treated to a clutch of extraordinary goals as Athletic Club Bilbao overturned a three-goal deficit to defeat CA Osasuna 4-3. Pablo García, Pierre Webó and Patxi Puñal had seemingly put Osasuna into an unassailable position, only for the home side to stage a spectacular second-half rally.

Unlikely hero
Two goals in five minutes after the hour, including a sublime free-kick, from Francisco Yeste (later sent off) got Athletic going and Tiko coolly side-footed the leveller in the 83rd minute before home side found an unlikely hero in Julen Guerrero. The midfielder had previously played just 19 minutes all season but showed no sign of rustiness when volleying in Andoni Iraola's cross.

ATHLETIC: Aranzubia; Murillo, Lacruz (Iraola, 46'), Prieto, Javi González; Orbaiz (Tiko, 81'), Gurpegui; Etxeberria, Yeste, Ezquerro (Guerrero, 81'); Llorente.

OSASUNA: Elía; Expósito, Josetxo, Cruchaga, Clavero; David López (Muñoz, 65'), Pablo García, Puñal, Moha (Ortiz, 84'); Webó (Aloisi, 78'), Morales.

GOALS: 0-1, : Pablo García (15'); 0-2, Webó (48'); 0-3, Puñal (56'); 1-3, Yeste (60'); 2-3, Yeste (65'); 3-3, Tiko (83'); 4-3, Guerrero (89').
