Atletico Madrid dropped another two points as they were held to a 0-0 draw against Real Valladolid, while Getafe recovered magnificently from Thursday's long trip to Russia with a 2-1 win away to Real Sociedad.

Mikel Merino opened the scoring for the home side in the fifth minute, but after Diego Llorente was sent off early in the second half, Getafe turned the game around with goals from Jaime Mata and Nemanja Maksimovic, who scored an 89th minute winner for the visitors.

Albert Celades enjoyed his first home win as Valencia coach as his side defeated Alaves 2-1. Summer signing Maxi Gomez opened the scoring in the first half and a Dani Parejo penalty made it 2-0 with seven minutes left to play, before Lucas Perez scored a late consolation for the visitors.

Osasuna's very positive return to the top flight continued thanks to a 2-1 home win at home to Villarreal, who took the lead in the fifth minute through a Pau Torres goal.

However, the side from Pamplona fought back and leveled in the last minute of the first half through Facundo Roncaglia, before Chimy Avila scored the winner with 13 minutes left.

Iago Aspas' 74th minute header gave Celta Vigo a much-needed 1-0 win at home to Athletic Bilbao, who failed to create enough threat in attack to take anything from the game.

Espanyol coach David Gallego is in trouble as his side lost 2-0 away to Mallorca, with goals in either half from Ante Budimir and former Espanyol player Salvador Sevilla leaving Wu Lei's side 19th in the table.
