At the end of an intense match, punctuated by two red cards for Leganes, Villareal won 5 goals to 2 thanks in particular to a hat-trick from Thierno Barry (16th, 45th+2, 65th). This narrow victory allows the “yellow submarine” to take 5th place in the standings, ahead of Mallorca and Real Sociedad. For its part, Leganes, winner of Barcelona last week, stagnates in 15th position.
In another meeting at the end of the day, Las Palmas hosted Espanyol. The Canary Islands club thus left with the 3 points, thanks to a late achievement from Sandro Ramirez (68th). In the ranking, Las Palmas is 12th and its opponent 18th.
