Fifth placed Villarreal lost ground on fourth placed Athletic Bilbao after they were beaten 2-0 by Granada in the last game of Saturday evening. The visitors were missing their two first-choice central defenders, and although Uche brought an early save out of Robert, makeshift centre-back Bruno gave away a penalty on Riki which Fran Rico converted. Trigueros and Riki traded long shots, but with seven minutes to go to the break El-Arabi made it two after running on to a through ball from Fran Rico. After the interval El-Arabi and Recio failed to find the target with long shots, and Pina tested Roberto with a header, but the Andalusians held on for an important victory which takes them four points clear of the relegation spots.
