After a goalless first half, Argentina winger Angel Di Maria gave the visitors the lead when he cut in from the left and curled a superb shot into the far top corner.

Raul Tamudo equalised with his thigh from Antoine Griezmann's free-kick but Ronaldo's deflected free-kick 16 minutes from time sealed the points.

Jose Maria Callejon grabbed the only goal as Espanyol saw off Almeria in a dull encounter at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat.

Callejon struck two minutes into the second half, steering a right-foot shot into the bottom corner.

But Real Mallorca had the best chances after the break before De Guzman wrapped up a 2-0 victory with a breakaway goal at the death.

Fernando Llorente grabbed a second-half equaliser to complete Athletic Bilbao's comeback in a 2-2 draw away to Sporting Gijon.

Carlos Gurpegui quickly pulled a goal back for Athletic and Llorente struck just before the hour mark to level the scores, heading home Igor Martinez's corner.
