Recap
Athletic youngster Inaki Williams stole the headlines on Sunday evening after he scored a double against Betis to bag three vital points for the Lions, who bumped up to eighth in the Spanish top flight.
He starred alongside Raul Garcia to guide manager Ernesto Valverde's men to their first away win in the league since they beat Elche 3-2 in May. David Cartlidge of beIN Sports voiced his admiration while noting that finishing isn't typically the 21-year-old's strongest suit:
Williams swiftly went from hero to villain, though, after handling the ball to gift Real Betis a penalty with just over 20 minutes remaining. Ruben Castro converted, but that was as far as their revival went on Sunday.
Garcia hit the frame earlier and finally got his goal to seal the 3-1 triumph minutes from full time. Athletic will celebrate an unusually strong display outside Basque country, as WhoScored.com showed they dominated the shot count 23-11.
Elsewhere, Espanyol were fortunate to take a share of the spoils against Granada at home, where Caicedo was the man of the hour thanks to his 94th-minute equaliser, sealing a fiercely fought 1-1 draw.
A slow first half saw the two teams go in scoreless at the break, but centre-back Jean-Sylvain Babin notched the opener for Granada after the restart, which OptaJose indicated was something of a landmark:
Espanyol's hopes of a comeback seemed to be doomed after right-back Rober Correa received a second yellow card for appearing to connect with the face of winger Isaac Success.
In a way, one could glean a positive outlook from the stubborn fightback, but Los Periquitos boss Sergio Gonzalez may remember this as a missed opportunity to claim all three points.
Eibar and Sporting Gijon both claimed 1-0 wins in home territory, with the latter clinching their first home win of the La Liga campaign and their first clean sheet since the Week 2 stalemate with Real Sociedad.
Squawka thought on-loan Barcelona whiz-kid Alen Halilovic was the inspiration behind the result, proving to be pivotal in a match that also saw the squad's defence give a fine account:
Losers Malaga remain stuck on nine points, just one place below Rayo Vallecano, who lost to Eibar 1-0 on Sunday thanks to a Diego Llorente own goal.
The win also brought an end to Eibar's own miserable run at home, with their last victory at Ipurua having come in August, and moved them to within four points of Atletico Madrid.
