Juca's eighth-minute goal was enough to hand all the points to Depor as a brilliant performance from Daniel Aranzubia kept Villarreal at bay.

Villarreal coach Ernesto Valverde, who replaced Manuel Pellegrini, will be feeling the heat after picking up just two points from the opening five games.

Mallorca continued their fine start to the season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Valladolid at Son Moix and moved into the top four.

Nunes put the home side into the lead after just three minutes and they never looked back, comfortably claiming the points following further goals from Aritz Aduriz and Borja Valero in three second-half minutes.

Real Zaragoza were also 3-0 winners as they brought Getafe crashing back down to earth.

Getafe had looked highly impressive as they beat Valencia 3-1 on Wednesday night, but Michel's side were given a reality check.

Carlos Pavon gave the home side the lead after 17 minutes and Abel Aguilar added a second halfway through the first half.

Aguilar wrapped up a fine victory nine minutes from time to propel Zaragoza back into the top half of the table on their return to the top flight.

Osasuna continue to recover from a poor start to the season after Javad Nekounam's 56th-minute penalty was enough to defeat Sporting Gijon 1-0.

Xerez claimed their first ever point in the top flight with a goalless draw at Espanyol while Racing Santander drew 2-2 at Almeria.

Kalu Uche struck an equaliser for Almeria a minute from the end to recover a point after they had gone ahead through Albert Crusat after 17 minutes.

Second-half goals from Mohamed Tchite and Mehdi Lacen had put Racing ahead only for Uche to equalise late.
