      Pato on song as Villarreal sweep aside Sporting

      Villarreal kept the pressure on LaLiga's top three as Alexandre Pato inspired them to a 3-1 victory away to Sporting Gijon.The Yellow Submarine had just won one of their previous seven matches away from home in the league and scored only five goals, but reversed the form guide in spectacular fashion at El Molinon.Jonathan dos Santos and Nicola Sansone put the visitors 2-0 up at the break and Pato got the goal he deserved with 16 minutes to go before Carlos Carmona pulled one back for Sporting, who remain in deep trouble and have won only one of their last 13 league games.Villarreal were ahead after 10 minutes as Roberto Soriano cut the ball across the area from the left to Dos Santos, who had the time and space to take a touch and rifle a shot high inside Pichu Cuellar's near post.Pato was a constant threat and some intricate footwork combined with a slice of luck took him through the centre of the Sporting defence, but Cuellar spread himself to block.The visitors' second arrived in the 19th minute as Pato's angled shot after a slaloming run seemed destined for the net, but Sansone made sure to tap home from a yard. The Brazilian looked somewhat put out that Sansone had stolen his thunder.Isma Lopez wasted Sporting's best chance when he fired high over the bar from Moi Gomez's cross and Sporting were at sixes and sevens defensively. Manu Trigueros released Sansone who rounded Cuellar, but Jorge Mere made a last-ditch tackle. Somehow Sporting gave the ball away again within seconds, and this time Pato's low drive was just off-target.Sansone made amends, if they were needed, to Pato as the Italian forward crossed low from the left to leave the Brazilian an easy job of sidefooting past Cuellar from close range for the third goal.Carmona added a consolation in the final minute as he got his head in the way of a Bruno Soriano clearance and the ball looped up and over Villarreal goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.

        Espanyol 2-1 Sporting Gijón

        Espanyol extended their unbeaten run in LaLiga to eight matches and climbed to ninth in the table with a 2-1 home victory over Sporting Gijon.Ecuador forward Felipe Caicedo opened the scoring in the 54th minute with a brave header before Leo Baptistao scored a cracker on the break in the final minute.Duje Cop's free-kick in injury time halved the deficit but it was another encouraging result for Quique Sanchez Flores' men.A turgid first half gave way to a more entertaining second and Espanyol forged ahead when Caicedo got away from his markers too easily and headed in Victor Sanchez's free-kick as Pichu Cuellar came out to punch clear.Cuellar breathed a sigh of relief in the 69th minute when a second Caicedo effort was disallowed. The Sporting defence got in a muddle and Cuellar's clearance ricocheted into the net off the South American forward, but he had used his hands to block the ball.Espanyol goalkeeper Diego Lopez made a stunning save to deny Cop an equaliser and Espanyol surged forward to score at the other end.Jurado's pass released Baptistao, who cut in from the right, skipped away from Jorge Mere and Douglas before slotting the ball calmly past Cuellar.Cop's goal was mere consolation for Sporting, who remain in the bottom three having now won just one of their last 12 LaLiga matches.ends

          Sporting Gijon move out of bottom three to add to Osasuna's problems

          Sporting Gijon climbed out of LaLiga's relegation zone with their first win in three months as they condemned rock bottom Osasuna to a 3-1 defeat. Carlos Carmona's double and Pereira Douglas gave the hosts their first victory since September, ending an 11-game winless run. Miguel Flano scored a late consolation for the visitors, but Osasuna have won just once in the league this season and have now lost their last five games in all competitions and remain at the foot of the table.Victory left Sporting two points above Deportivo La Coruna, but they will drop back into the bottom three if Deportivo beat Real Sociedad on Monday.Sporting won two and drew one of their opening three games, yet had not tasted victory since, but Carmona's header three minutes before the break set them up for a much-needed triumph. The hosts dominated for long spells and Osasuna failed to register a shot on target before Douglas made sure of victory after 56 minutes.Carmona went close after 66 minutes and the former Barcelona B winger did grab his second at the Estadio El Molinon when he lobbed Nauzet Perez with 11 minutes left. Oriol Riera tried to net a late consolation, his long-range effort flying wide, but the visitors did finally pull a goal back with four minutes left. Flano converted from close range with Osasuna's first shot on target, but it was too late to salvage anything.
