Both of Eibar's goals came following corners with Esteban Burgos scoring from close range in the tenth minute and Edu Exposito netting Eibar's second in injury time.

Valencia and Real Sociedad both missed good chances to close the gap on the top four as they suffered heavy away defeats, with Valencia losing 4-1 away to struggling Mallorca, while Real Sociedad were beaten 3-0 against an improving Betis.

Antonio Arenas opened the scoring for Mallorca after seven minutes before Ante Budimir netted twice to put the home side 3-0 up by halftime.

Dani Rodriguez added a fourth for Mallorca before Ferran Torres consolation for Valencia, whose captain Dani Parejo was sent off and will miss next week's game at home to FC Barcelona.

Borja Iglesias, Joaquin Sanchez and Sergio Canales all scored for Betis as Real Sociedad disappointed on their visit to the south of Spain.

Raul Garcia's penalty gave Athletic Club Bilbao a point at home to Celta Vigo, who had opened the scoring with a deflected shot from Rafinha and the visitors survived heavy pressure from Athletic in the last 20 minutes to take a point.

Raul de Tomas began to pay his record transfer fee to Espanyol with his side's second goal as they won 2-1 away to Villarreal to continue Abelardo Fernandez's successful start as coach.

David Lopez opened the scoring for Espanyol before De Tomas' goal doubled the visitors' lead before Santi Cazorla's penalty for the home side.
