Goals Scored - 13

Despite a stellar month of March, Jaime Mata has still dropped one place to 8th at the start of April. Interestingly, Getafe are currently 4th in the table, a point ahead of Sevilla and for that, they have Jaime Mata to thank.

The Spaniard started the month with a fine finish against Real Betis which turned out to be the winner. He followed that up with a splendid brace that helped Getafe win 2-1 at home against Huesca. Since then though, the Spaniard has failed to find the back of the net in the last four games - draws against Valencia and Espanyol, a defeat at the hands of Leganes and most recently, the win at home against Athletic Bilbao.

Jaime Mata now has 13 goals from 28 games and is averaging a goal every 151 minutes played. He has attempted 43 shots in La Liga, 22 of which have been on target.
