Victory in Huelva takes Mallorca up to sixth place

Mallorca won thanks to goals from striker Daniel Guiza, after just two minutes, and super sub Tuni 11 minutes from time.

 The away win leaves the islanders with 14 points from eight games, two points less than fifth-placed Espanyol, who on Sunday beat leaders Real Madrid 2-1.

 Atletico Madrid, currently on 11 points, will share sixth place with Mallorca if they manage to beat Zaragoza in Sunday's late match.

 Sunday also saw an important away win for Athletic Bilbao, who triumphed 2-1 in Valladolid with two early goals from Aritz Aduriz.

 Veteran Victor Fernandez pulled a late goal back for Valladolid from the penalty spot, but the "Lions of the North" managed to hold on to the three points.

 The crucial win takes Bilbao up to 13th, but leaves Valladolid second from bottom with just five points.

  The only team below Valladolid is bottom side Levante, who have just one point after Saturday's 0-2 defeat at home to Sevilla. New coach Giovanni De Biasi will have his work cut ut to save Levante.

 Also on Sunday, newly-promoted Almeria moved up to tenth with a 2-0 win over Osasuna, whilst Getafe beat Murcia by the same score and Racing Santander came from behind to battle out a 1-1 draw away to Betis.
