Imanol Agirretxe and Cedric Bakambu both netted
braces as Real Sociedad and Villarreal came from
behind to claim late victories in La Liga.
Villarreal returned to winning ways as they came from behind to
snatch a last-gasp 2-1 victory at home to Rayo Vallecano in La
Liga on Sunday.
After consecutive defeats – one of which came against Segunda
Division strugglers Huesca in the Copa del Rey – Marcelino's
side rediscovered their form as Cedric Bakambu's second-half
double cancelled out Jozabed's earlier opener.
The Democratic Republic of Congo forward powered in an
equaliser in the 69th minute, before getting on the end of Denis
Suarez's fantastic cross with four minutes remaining to
complete the turnaround and move Villarreal up to fifth place.
Meanwhile, Eusebio Sacristan got his second win as Real
Sociedad coach in similar fashion, as Imanol Agirretxe's 90th-
minute winner claimed the spoils against Eibar by another 2-1
scoreline.
Sociedad were thumped 4-0 by leaders Barcelona in their last
league outing, and were behind after just four minutes on
Sunday when Borja Baston turned home Sergi Enrich's cross.
But the visitors' lead did not last long as Agirretxe slotted in
from the edge of the box after 10 minutes, before tapping into an
open goal to seal the win in second-half stoppage time.
Elsewhere, Sporting Gijon brought their four-match losing streak
to an end with a 3-1 victory over 10-man Las Palmas, while
Athletic Bilbao – who had midfielder Mikel San Jose sent off
after 19 minutes – were unable to overcome struggling Malaga
at San Mames.
