Athletic have now lost their last five games and are deep in trouble second from bottom of the table.

Meanwhile in Madrid, Kun Aguero returned to the starting 11 and scored both goals as Atletico Madrid returned to winning ways with a straightforward 2-0 win over a very average Mallorca.

Sevilla missed a great chance to move into the top four as they let a two-goal lead escape them before losing 3-2 in Valladolid. Renato and Jesus Navas put Manolo Jimenez's side 2-0 up and they looked to be cruising to a win.

Everything changed just after the half-hour, when Luis Fabiano was shown a second yellow card for diving and Valladolid took advantage of the extra man. Jonathan Sesma pulled a goal back before the break and two goals from second half substitute Nestor Fabuian Canobbio gave the home side an unlikely win.

Elsewhere Sporting Gijon won their fourth consecutive game with a 3-1 win over Numancia. Recreativo Huelva and Getafe drew 1-1 anda Raul Tamudo goal was enough to give Espanyol all three points over bottom of the table Osasuna.
