New Valencia manager Gary Neville is still waiting for his first victory in La Liga. After drawing with Eibar, Neville's side could only muster up a 2-2 draw against 14th-place Getafe on Saturday. 

The result drew some of his critics out, such as ESPN's Dan Thomas:

All four goals in the match came in the first half, with Valencia having to find the equaliser twice after Getafe goals in the 10th and 22nd minutes. It was one of two draws on Saturday, as Real Betis and Sevilla played to a goalless result.

Felipe Caicedo's 67th-minute goal gave Espanyol a four-point cushion in front of 13th-place Real Sociedad and a six-point gap above the relegation zone.

Here's Caicedo's finish, courtesy of beIN Sports USA:

The big winner of the day was Deportivo, who moved two points within Celta Vigo for fourth place with a 2-0 win over 10th-place Eibar. Lucas Perez opened the scoring in the 41st minute from the penalty spot, and Alejandro Arribas followed with a goal off a corner. 

Deportivo will have to wait to see if their deficit remains at two points as Celta Vigo take on 17th-place Granada and fifth-place Villarreal play Real Sociedad. 

La Liga's largest clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid, will also be in action on Sunday, with both having easier draws on the schedule. Barcelona, the league leaders, will take on 15th-place Sporting Gijon, while Real Madrid, sitting in third, will face 18th-place Rayo.
