La Liga Table 2020: Sunday's Week 19 Results and Updated Standings

Santi Cazorla helped Villarreal to an impressive 2-1 win away to Real Sociedad in La Liga on Sunday. The former Arsenal playmaker netted the Yellow Submarine's winner at Anoeta.

Villarreal are ninth and just a point ahead of Granada, who piled the pressure on relegation-threatened Mallorca earlier in the day. A 1-0 defeat away from home leaves Mallorca in the bottom three.

Celta Vigo benefited from Mallorca's defeat, even though they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Osasuna. Chimy Avila's ninth league goal of the season earned the visitors a share of the spoils, but a point still moved Celta away from danger on goal difference.

Alaves could have gone seven points clear of the drop zone had 10-man Real Betis not held on for a point.
