Villarreal lose again

Villarreal coach Ernesto Valverde came under more pressure on Sunday as his side slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Deportivo La Coruna to leave them languishing second from bottom of the table.
Deportivo's Brazilian midfielder Juca, a summer signing from Partizan Belgrade, scored a free-kick after eight minutes to decide the match although Villarreal spurned a number of chances to equalise.
Valverde arrived as Manuel Pellegrini's successor in the summer having won a league and cup double with Greek giants Olympiakos but has yet to taste his first win in charge and the pressure is mounting.
Villarreal's next match is against Valverde's old club Espanyol who he guided to the 2007 UEFA Cup final where they lost on penalties to Sevilla.
Deportivo, meanwhile climb to fifth with their latest victory, a point behind fourth-placed Mallorca who continued their superb start with a 3-0 home win over Valladolid to climb up to fourth.
Mallorca were the third best team in the second half of last season - only Barcelona and Real Madrid collected more points - and they appear to have continued where they left off.
Portuguese defender Jose Nunes scored after three minutes before Aritz Aduriz grabbed a second close to the hour mark and Borja Valero notched a third shortly after.
In Sunday's other matches, it was a historic day for Xerez who recorded their first ever point in the Spanish top flight with a 0-0 draw at Espanyol.
Xerez fans have waited 62 years for their side to grace the top division and had started with four defeats since winning promotion as second division champions.
However, they stay bottom and have yet to score their first goal in the top tier.
Osasuna, who beat relegation on the final day of last season, climbed into mid-table with a 1-0 win over Sporting Gijon in Pamplona.
Iranian international Javad Nekanoum converted from the penalty spot after 55 minutes to clinch the spoils for Osasuna.
Promoted Real Zaragoza are also going well with a 3-0 win over Getafe on Sunday lifting them to a creditable eighth in the standings.
