Atletico, one point closer to Barcelona in second spot, could only manage a dour 0-0 draw at home to Villarreal.
Albentosa may be a forgotten figure at Derby, but the goal against Malaga could prove to be key in the title race. Luiz Suarez and Neymar’s first half goals ensured a 1-2 win for the visitors and further sinks the relegation-bound Palmas into troubled-waters.

With confidence high from their 6-0 thrashing of Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday, Valencia started the stronger and only great saves from Andres Fernandez pre-vented Paco Alcacer and Andres Gomez from giving Valencia a half-time lead. “It’s been a fantastic week”, Parejo said on Spanish TV afterwards.
