Ivory Coast and Lille's Gervinho is the second highest scorer in France

The Ivory Coast's Gervinho continued his fine form this season with Lille's second in a 3-0 win over visitors Le Mans. Cameroon's Aurelien Chedjou scored the opening goal for Lille.

It was Gervinho's ninth of the season and makes him the second highest scorer in the French top flight.

Guinea's Ismael Bangoura scored the only goal of the game as his Rennes side beat Paris Saint Germain 1-0.

Algeria's Nadir Belhadj opened the scoring for Portsmouth as they beat visitors Liverpool 2-0. Despite the victory Portsmouth remain bottom of the Premier League.

Ghana's John Mensah scored a rare goal for Sunderland but his side still lost a thrilling game at Manchester City 4-3.

ITALY

Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o scored his eighth of the season for champions Inter Milan in their 1-0 win over Lazio. It keeps Inter eight points clear of their city rivals AC Milan at the top of Serie A.

SPAIN

No African goals in La Liga this weekend - but Mali's Seydou Keita and the Ivory Coast's Yaya Toure were both part of the Barcelona team that won the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi yesterday.

The European champions needed extra time as they came from a goal down to beat their South American counterparts Estudiantes of Argentina 2-1.

SCOTLAND

In Scotland there was another Algerian on target as Ismael Bouzid scored the winner for Hearts as they beat 10-man Celtic 2-1.

HOLLAND

BELGIUM

Belgian-born Nigerian striker Marvin Ogunjimi scored both goals for Racing Genk in their 2-2 draw with visitors Zulte Waregem.
