Here are five of the winners from the last few days…
5) Lionel Messi, Barcelona
The four time Ballon d’Or winner scored his 24th La Liga hat trick in Barcelona’s 6-1 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. What’s more, the goals brought him equal to Cristiano Ronaldo in the league’s top scorers table.
4) Luis Suarez, Barcelona
Messi’s team mate didn’t do too badly either. The former Liverpool man is well and truly settled in at the Nou Camp now, and scored another two goals on the weekend.
3) Tim Sherwood, Aston Villa
Not only did the ex-Tottenham boss lead his side to their second victory over fierce rivals West Brom in less than a week, but he will have also noticed that fellow relegation strugglers QPR lost to his old club.
This means that the Villains continue to stay out of the bottom three in the Premier League, and now have an FA Cup semi final to look forward to.
2) Harry Kane, Tottenham
The 21-year-old continued his amazing season with a brace against QPR on Saturday.
This will not have gone unnoticed by England manager Roy Hodgson, who was in attendance at Loftus Road.
1) Kaka, Orlando City
Former Real Madrid and AC Milan veteran made a sensational start to his MLS career, this stoppage time equaliser may have been lucky, but he won’t care.
