PETE JENSON: Durable Girona's rise to the top of LaLiga is STAGGERING... the unfancied Spanish outfit - backed by Man City - are a feeder team no more after outscoring their rivals, staying calm and playing great football

No one is surprised to see Manchester City top of the Premier League but the fact that another City Group club leads another top European League with almost a third of the season gone is little short of staggering.

These satellite teams are supposed to be feeder clubs, small operations where players can be developed, not European rivals, which is what Girona will be if they keep this up. They'll finish the season with 98 points if current form continues.

It's highly entertaining too. Girona have scored 29 goals, more than any other side.
