Espanyol remain fourth in the Primera Liga and can perhaps be classed as this season's surprise package.

Sevilla's poor campaign continued with their second home defeat in a week as Gregorio Manzano's men lost 2-1 at home to Getafe.

Hercules beat Levante 3-1 with two goals from Nelson Valdez and one from David Trezeguez, while a single strike from Rosenberg earned Racing Santander three important points at home to Deportivo la Coruna.
