Atletico Madrid crashed to yet another defeat just three days ahead of their vital Champions League visit to play Chelsea in Stamford Bridge. Atletico were beaten 3-0 away to Osasuna in a game where the team coached by Abel Resino paid for making basic defensive errors in the first half.

Walter Pandiani and Carlos Aranda took advantage of some slack marking to put Osasuna 3-0 up after just 30 minutes.

Pandiani netted twice as Atletico showed an inability to defend crosses into the penalty area.

Defeat against Chelsea on Wednesday would leave Atletico virtually eliminated from Europe and Abel's job could well be in the line.

Villarreal coach Ernesto Valverde is also under huge pressure after his side became Xerez's first victims of the season.

The two teams had kicked off last and second from bottom in the table and the defeat leaves Villarreal bottom.

Robert Pires struck first for Villarreal after just 17 minutes, but Mario Bermejo levelled the match with three minutes until halftime with only Xerez's second goal of the campaign.

Former Sevilla forward Antonito scored the winning goal, all beit after a clear handball, with 11 minutes left in the game.

The win also lifts Xerez above Malaga, who lost 2-1 at home to Almeria.

Almeria left Malaga reeling in two minutes just before halftime. Cisma and Soriano scored after 39 and 40 minutes, with Cisma's effort coming from a direct free kick.
