Rafael Benitez's side managed
to record their first victory in three matches away to Eibar, but they are
still six points off the summit.
Real Madrid returned to
winning ways in La Liga with a 2-0 victory at Eibar on Sunday, but successes
for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid mean that Los Blancos are still in third
position in the table after 13 games of the season.
Barcelona stretched their
lead at the summit with a 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday, but
Atletico responded with a 1-0 home win over Espanyol to ensure that they would
remain second at the end of the weekend regardless of Real Madrid's result one
day later.
Week 13's action opened from
Valencia on Friday, with Real Betis winning 1-0 at Levante, who remain bottom
of the table on 10 points.
On Saturday, as well as wins
for Barcelona and Atletico, the points were shared in a 2-2 draw between Malaga
and Granada, while Deportivo La Coruna continued their impressive start to the
campaign with a confident 2-0 win at struggling Las Palmas and Celta Vigo regained
fourth spot with a 2-1 victory over Sporting Gijon.
Sunday's early start saw
Getafe record a surprising 2-0 victory at home to Villarreal, before Athletic
Bilbao moved into the top seven with a 3-0 win at Rayo Vallecano, who are now
just four points outside of the relegation zone.
Sevilla returned to winning
ways with a 1-0 success against Valencia, their head coach Nuno announced his
resignation at the Mestalla following a difficult start to the season.
It was another pulsating
