Gareth Bale – for doubling Real Madrid’s lead against Espanyol after getting a goal on his return from an ankle injury that sidelined him for about 2 months
Corentin Tolisso – scoring goals to give Lyon the platform to get a victory against Dijon in their Round 26 fixture in French Ligue 1.

Kevin Gameiro
