The Villarreal deal involves Real Sociedad’s top 5 prospects
Villarreal 3-1 Real Sociedad
A first half blitz carried Villarreal to victory on Friday night. Gerard Moreno, Georges Mikautadze and Nicolas Pepe all scored in the first 23 minutes, and Luka Sucic got a goal back for Real Sociedad in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to prevent defeat at La Ceramica – a result that cemented the Yellow Submarine in 3rd place after Atletico Madrid lost the Madrid derby on Sunday.
Elche come from behind to beat Mallorca by six points
Elche 2-1 Mallorca
Elche moved out of the relegation zone on Saturday with a win over Mallorca, who took their place in the draw. Pablo Torre had given the visitors the lead, but goals from Rafa Mir and Tete Morente sealed victory for the home side.
Getafe leapfrog Espanyol with a stunning win at the RCDE Stadium
Espanyol 1-2 Getafe
Getafe continue to punch above their weight, and their latest positive result came at the RCDE Stadium. Two first-half goals from Domingos Duarte and Mauro Arambarri put Jose Bordalas’ side in the relegation zone, and although Roberto Fernandez scored for Espanyol in the second half, the visitors caught fire.
Levante sinks Real Oviedo to increase chances of survival
Levante 4-2 Real Oviedo
Levante are now just three points adrift of safety, having extended their unbeaten run with a well-deserved home win over Real Oviedo. Carlos Espi’s goal gave the hosts a good start, but four minutes into the first half, they were beaten by efforts from Ilyas Chaira and Federico Vinas. However, Valencians got the win with second half strikes from Iker Losada and Ivan Romero.
Osasuna maintain El Sadar’s record as a late goal secures victory
Osasuna 1-0 Girona
In a game of good margins, Osasuna continued their comfortable home run with a comfortable win over Girona. Paulo Gazzaniga denied the hosts many times during the game, but he did not have the strength to stop Ante Budimir’s header in the 80th minute.
Sevilla’s woes continue as Valencia continue their recent revival
Sevilla 0-2 Valencia
It has now been three wins in the last four for Valencia, who remain just three points clear of the European places after victory at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan. First-half goals from Hugo Duro and Largie Ramazani sealed victory for Los Che, as pressure mounted on Sevilla coach Matias Almeyda after a fourth consecutive winless game.
Alaves signs a thrilling comeback win at Balaidos
Celta Vigo 3-4 Alaves
The game of the weekend goes to Alaves, who came from 3-0 up for a stunning win over Celta Vigo.

Athletic Club return to winning ways as Real Betis are beaten
Athletic Club 2-1 Real Betis
