Recap
Valencia breathed new life into their La Liga campaign on Saturday after hammering Celta Vigo 5-1 at Balaidos, even though it was the hosts who looked like the more controlling outfit for long periods of the fixture.
Alcacer opened the scoring inside 13 minutes only for Augusto Fernandez to level the scoring for Celta, but an expertly executed Parejo free-kick on the stroke of half-time assured Los Che a 2-1 lead heading in at the break.
It was in the second period that Nuno Espirito Santo's side really took flight, however, as Alcacer and Parejo added one more goal each to the tally, while defender Shkodran Mustafi headed in a late fifth to complete the rout.
Bleacher Report's Tim Collins illustrated Celta perhaps weren't four goals inferior to Valencia, but the clinical form of the visitors' attack led them to three points and moved Los Che to within two points of the top four:
One point and one place above Nuno's men sits Eibar, who made it back-to-back wins thanks to their 3-1 win over Getafe, where Sergi Enrich notched a first-half double to set the Basque club en route to three points.
Victor Rodriguez initially equalised following Enrich's opener, but Damian Suarez saw red 30 minutes from time for a poor challenge in the area, leaving Saul Berjon to convert the resulting penalty.
Adam Gray of O-Posts emphasised the fairytale nature of Eibar's rise into La Liga's hierarchy, while Getafe remain just a point above the bottom three and are facing the prospect of a relegation struggle:
There was another sending off at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas, except it was 2-1 victors Rayo Vallecano who dealt better with their disadvantage against Granada following Ze Castro's dismissal after just 19 minutes.
Fortunately for the hosts, a brace from Javi Guerra saw Rayo into a 2-0 lead before Ze Castro received his second yellow, and even Jean-Sylvain Babin's second-half consolation couldn't rescue a result. Per the Guardian's Sid Lowe, Granada manager Jose Ramon Sandoval had no excuses for this team's display:
The evening fixture saw Malaga's misfortunes continue with a 1-0 defeat at home to Real Betis, keeping the Anchovies level on points with 18th-place Real Sociedad, while Los Verdiblancos are into La Liga's top half.
Ruben Castro grabbed the only goal of the evening after ghosting down the left flank before slotting a finely weighted effort inside Malaga No. 1 Carlos Kameni's far post. Infostraded outlined just how important his goals have been to the club during his time in Seville:
Earlier on Saturday, Deportivo La Coruna ran to their fourth draw in five matches following a 1-1 result at basement-side Levante, who cancelled out Lucas Perez's opener thanks to Victor Camarasa's 53rd-minute equaliser.
The Frogs are still seeking their second La Liga win of the campaign, but Depor's five-match winless streak may now begin to unsettle fans after showing such promise earlier in the season.
