Lucas Perez leads Deportivo to victory over Espanyol

Good start
Deportivo knew how to take the pulse to the game from the early stages of the match. In the first half hour of play, the Galician side controlled de game and created danger, opening enough gap so the team of Sergio Gonzalez could not react.

Lucas Perez
The good performance of the striker from La Coruña came to light from very soon. Technical quality and effectiveness in front of goal has allowed the striker to score four goals in six games and be the leader of the "Blanquiazules", who have shown extraordinary strength.

Balanced Squad
The good work done in the summer by Deportivo has managed that Victor Sánchez del Amo can take advantage of a deep and balanced squad. Homegrown players such as Lucas Pérez or Pedro Mosquera are another incentive for the Riazor´s team to maintain an upward trend.

Effectiveness
Five straight games scoring. That´s Deportivo´s run, who has been a very effective team in recent matchdays of the championship.

Defensive solidity
Although solidity is one of the strengths of Espanyol, in the match against Deportivo was one of the weakest aspects of Sergio Gonzalez´s team. The good game between lines of Lucas Pérez dismasted completely the defensive network organized by the away team.
