It was double Basque delight the early games, as Real Sociedad cruised to victory at Leganes, and Athletic Club won at home to Villarreal.

Drama was in the air in the evening clashes, as Osasuna held Alaves in Pamplona, before Los Rojiblancos edged a seven-goal encounter in the Spanish capital.

Here’s how Sunday’s action unfolded…

Leganes 0-3 Real Sociedad

La Real stretched their winning run to four games across all competitions with three goals and three points in Madrid.

Athletic Club 2-0 Villarreal

Athletic Club made it five wins in a row as they claimed a 2-0 victory over Villarreal in Bilbao.

Aitor Paredes headed home from a corner in the hosts first chance of the game at the Estadio San Mames.

Villarreal then saw an instant equaliser ruled out by VAR with Julen Agirrezabala in inspired form for the hosts either side of the break.

Despite being in second best for patches of the second half, the home team seized one key chance late on, as Inaki Williams raced clear and fired home.
