Alaves took an early lead through Ruben Sobrino but fell behind before half-time as an unleashed Levante side hit back through Jason and Tono.
The hosts let their hair loose in their second win of the season, as evidenced by this remarkable passage of play:
The win took Levante out of the relegation zone and gave the side a template to follow the rest of the season―they can play vibrant attacking football and should not be afraid to take risks. By scoring two, they doubled their scoring output for the season.
Villarreal suffered yet another home loss, and as shared by the UEFA Europa League's official Twitter account, their home form is becoming a major issue for the Yellow Submarine:
To add insult to injury, it was Leonardo Suarez who bagged Valladolid's only goal. The 22-year-old is on loan from Villarreal, who opted against putting a clause in his contract that would make him ineligible to face them.
Former Barcelona goalkeeper Jordi Masip saved a penalty.
In the first match of the day, Cristhian Stuani and Gonzalo Melero converted penalties to split the points between Huesca and Girona. For the hosts, it was the first point they earned since their remarkable start to the campaign.
