Former Betis hero Dani Ceballos scored the winning goal two minutes from time with a free kick, which both the defensive wall and Betis keeper Pau Lopez should dealt with. However, Madrid also deserve credit for battling through despite a serve injury crisis which was made worse when Karmin Benzema had to leave the game after dislocating a finger.

Luka Modric put Madrid ahead in the first half, but Sergio Canales equalized with 23 minutes left to play as Betis enjoyed 74 percent of the ball, before Ceballos and Pau combined to give Madrid 3 points.

Saturday saw Getafe's excellent season continue with a 2-1 win away to struggling Villarreal.

Veteran striker Jorge Molina opened the scoring for Getafe, but Villarreal drew level 15 minutes from time with a Leandro Cabrera's own goal.

Angel Rodriguez's 89th minute goal sealed the win for Getafe, but not before drama in injury time when Villarreal twice hit the woodwork through Ramiro Funes Mori and Karl Toko Ekambi. The home side were then awarded a penalty only for Ekambi to fire over the bar.

Borja Baston's goal early in the second half saw the points shared between Girona and Alaves. Cristhian Stuani's overhead kick put Girona ahead before the break, but in the 50th minute Baston latched onto a deflection to fire home from close range.

Valencia's struggles continue after Ruben Alcaraz's brilliant free kick 8 minutes from time gave Valladolid a point in the Mestalla Stadium.
