Harry Kane made quite a statement in front of England manager Roy Hodgson in Tottenham’s victory over the weekend.

Kane headed home a free kick from Kyle Walker in the first half before rounding the keeper and sliding home the ball in the second, netting a brace as Tottenham picked up a 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers.

Real Madrid were undone by a beauty of a header from 34-year-old veteran Aritz Aduriz in the first half as the European champions were downed 1-0 on the road against Athletic Bilbao. Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to get a shot on frame on a night where he was defended to perfection.

Here is a closer look at Europe’s top-five leagues’ action from the weekend:
