Levante's new manager is finding out the hard way about life in La Liga. Gianni De Biasi complained on Wednesday that Pérez Lasa had not treated both sides the same way, awarding a dubious penalty to Villarreal and then turning down one at the other end when Cygan handled in the area. The Italian coach said that he was not used to referees who distinguished so much between small and big teams, a strange comment given that Villarreal were playing in the regional divisions only a few years ago!

Elsewhere Turienzo Alvarez moves to the top of our chart after showing nine yellow cards in the dull scoreless draw between Recreativo and Racing. At least that gave the fans something to wake them from their slumber, although he could have made it a bit more entertaining if he had awarded penalties to Tchite and Sinama-Pongolle at either end later on!
