David Beckham’s troubled week continued last night as his Real Madrid team suffered their first home defeat of the season, a 3-0 thrashing by Osasuna which allowed Valencia to take over at the top of the Primera Liga.
Real, knocked out of the Champions’ League by Monaco in midweek, were humbled 3-0 at the Bernabeu by their mid-table opponents. Goals from Valmiro Valdo, Perez Pablo Garcia and Mohamed Moha sentenced Real to only their third home league defeat in four seasons on a miserable night for Beckham, who returned after missing the Monaco defeat through suspension.Beckham was watched by his wife, Victoria, and son, Brooklyn, in a public show of support following new claims about his alleged infidelities. With just six games remaining Valencia lead the standings on 69 points. Real follow on 67 while Deportivo La Coru?who won 2-0 at Villarreal, are a distant third on 60.

He is expected to make a statement today following discussions with advisers.Valencia replaced the champions after the midfielder Miguel Angel Angulo scored a second-half header to earn a 1-0 win at Real Zaragoza. Substitutes not used: Shaaban (gk), Keown.Referee: P Durkin (Dorset) 8.Booking: Arsenal: Vieira.Man of the match: Woodgate.Attendance: 52,141.. With every match, the picture of him at Hull Crown Court fades and the one of him as perhaps the most naturally commanding defender in England grows. Only once, in the 76th minute, was Woodgate drawn out of position by Henry, whose cross drifted over Andy O’Brien’s head and on to Reyes’s.

Fortunately for Newcastle, his header struck Given on his knees. Mentally and physically, April finds most professional footballers on their knees. Arsenal may have been battered by the last eight days, which have seen their elimination from the Champions’ League and the FA Cup, but in the championship the prize they had to reclaim, they are still standing immensely tall.Newcastle United (4-4-2): Given 6; Hughes 4, O’Brien 7, Woodgate 9, Bernard 6; Ambrose 3 (Bowyer, 79), Jenas 5, Speed 6, Robert 2 (Viana, 79); Bellamy 5, Shearer 6. Substitutes not used: Harper (gk), Bramble, Ameobi.Arsenal (4-4-2): Lehmann 6; Lauren 5, Campbell 7, Tour?, Cole 6 (Clichy, 90); Wiltord 4 (Pires, 79), Vieira 7, Gilberto Silva 5, Edu 5; Reyes 6 (Bergkamp, 79), Henry 7. At Eindhoven on Thursday night and again yesterday, Woodgate patched up every one of his colleagues’ errors.

However, as he swept the ball around Given, Henry took it a touch too far and slid his shot against the outside of the right-hand post, finishing up slumped by the pitch covers on his haunches looking immensely weary Bluntly, Henry lacked “va-va-voom”. Arsenal have placed a huge burden on his shoulders this season, but occasionally it has been like using a Ferrari to do the job of a Ford Transit.He was also facing Woodgate, a defender playing at the very peak of his ability. Despite some desperate Geordie protests, he was not offside, although Jose Antonio Reyes most certainly was. The first chance came when Jermaine Jenas, under immense pressure, tried to dig out a back-pass to Shay Given.
