Athletic Club Bilbao: Villarreal won the east coast derby in Spain 2-0 away to Valencia to strengthen its position in third place in La Liga and put its near neighbours into crisis.

Gerard Moreno put Villarreal ahead from the penalty spot on the stroke of halftime after he had been caught in the Valencia penalty area.

Santi Comesana doubled Villarreal's lead with a simple finish to all but assure the win against a rival that ended with forward Arnaut Danjuma injured ahead of next weekend's visit to Real Madrid, reports Xinhua.
