For once Mourinho had nothing to say about the referee, this time Fernández Borbolán helping his side by allowing Ronaldo's third goal to stand even though he came back from an offside position. The decision provoked a red card for Villarreal coach Juan Carlos Garrido for his protests. Madrid scored again though after that to win 4-2, so the ruling was probably not that decisive in the result? Clos Gómez though definitively helped Valencia to a 0-1 victory over city neighbours Levante, the referee allowing Mata's late goal to stand even though he was offside when he picked up the ball. Clos also awarded Valencia a controversial penalty earlier on for a foul which appeared to be outside of the area, although Mata fired his kick over the bar. (12.01.11)
