Rafa Mir scored a hattrick to get Huesca their second league win of the season. Huesca won 3-1 away against Valladolid.
Another win for Sevilla (2-0 at Eibar). Their only defeat from the last 15 competitive matches have been away against the league leaders (Atletico Madrid)

Levante beat Madrid. Roger made up for missing a penalty by scoring from open play to win the match for Levante.
Alexander Isak scored deep into the additional minutes for Real Sociedad to avoid defeat against Villarreal and fall 6 points behind them in that standings. It was a deserved point for Real Sociedad but it wasn’t the result to end their 4 game winless run.
Getafe were held at home by Alaves to a goalless draw.
Luis Suarez scored two goals as Atletico Madrid grabbed another set for three points from a 4-2 win at Cadiz.
Granada kept their 4-point lead on Celta Vigo after playing out a goalless draw.
Barcelona got the win to take advantage of Real Madrid’s slip.
Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann provided the goals for Barcelona to get a 2-1 home win against Athletic Club.
Real Betis narrowly won against relegation threatened Osasuna in the final match of the round.
