Madrid - A handsome 1-0 win away to Getafe on Saturday stretches Barcelona's lead at the top of the Spanish Liga to nine points.

Barca's 12th away win, a new club record, leaves Lionel Messi and company nine points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, who are away to lowly Recreativo Huelva later on Saturday.

Barca have won their last six league games without conceding a single goal.

"It was another good game by us," said playmaker Xavi. "We are enjoying our football and our results are excellent."

London  - Didier Drogba snatched the winner seven minutes from time as Chelsea edged out Arsenal 2-1 at Wembley to reach the FA Cup final.

The striker pounced after Florent Malouda had equalized Theo Walcott's deflected early strike to set up a final against either Manchester United or Everton, who meet on Sunday.

Arsenal left Andrei Arshavin and Samir Nasri on the bench at the start but it mattered little as Walcott put them ahead, with a strike that deflected off Ashley Cole's hand.

That came after 17 minutes and neither side was at their fluent best as chances came and went.

Rome  - Young Argentine Mauro Zarate scored the winner for Lazio Saturday as the side from the capital won 1-0 away to Genoa in a Serie A weekend opener.

The defeat, which they suffered after a four-win run topped by a 3-2 success at Juventus, could be crucial for Genoa in the race for a fourth available Champions League berth.

Fifth-placed Fiorentina trail Genoa two points adrift and can leapfrog them when they play Sunday at Udinese.

The hosts had their best chances in the early minutes through a header from defender Giuseppe Biava that Fernando Muslera incredibly managed to slap away.

Grafite hit the winner for Wolfsburg five minutes from time to give Felix Magath's side a 10th successive victory - equalling a record set by Borussia Moenchengladbach in 1987.

London - Middlesbrough's hopes of avoiding relegation from the English Premier League suffered another blow on Saturday as they were held to a goalless draw at home by Fulham.

Victory could have lifted them out of the bottom three, but with Sunderland beating Hull City 1-0, they are now still four points away from safety, although they did move above Newcastle United into 18th place.

Djibril Cisse's goal, just before half-time, gave Sunderland all three points against Hull, who are now just two places above the bottom three themselves.
