Villarreal suffered a setback Wednesday in their campaign to challenge Real Madrid for third place in the Spanish Liga, being held 0-0 at Celta Vigo. Villarreal dominated play at sixth-placed Vigo but failed to break down a solid local defence that was well marshalled by Gustavo Cabral. The draw left the Yellows in fourth place, one point behind a Real Madrid side that was due to visit bottom team Levante later on. Villarreal are nine points above fifth-placed Sevilla, who edged Eibar 1-0 on an early goal from veteran Fernando Llorente. Sevilla are two points above Celta and three above seventh-placed Athletic Bilbao, who trounced Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 with a hat-trick from the ageless Aritz Aduriz after Iker Muniain had given them the lead. Also Wednesday, Valencia continued their revival with a rather fortunate 2-1 win at Malaga. Duje Cop gave Malaga an early lead but a bizarre own goal from Malaga keeper Carlos Kameni put Valencia level, then Denis Cheryshev hit the winner for the visitors. The win took Valencia up to ninth and left Malaga in 11th place. | |||||
