Spare a thought for Deportivo La Coruna and Sporting Gijon.

On Saturday, only three days after Luis Suarez tallied four goals and three assists in Barcelona's 8-0 thrashing of Deportivo, the Uruguayan cannibal was at it again, bagging another quartet of goals to help lift the Blaugrana to a 6-0 rout of Gijon.
