La Liga: Eibar top Athletic Bilbao for first time ever, Atletico thump Sevilla
Eibar recorded a first ever league victory over Athletic Bilbao to go joint top of the Primera Division.
Saul Berjon opened the scoring from the penalty spot while Adrian Gonzalez scored his first goal for his new club in the second half to cap a 2-0 win for Jose Mendilibar's side, following a 3-1 success at Granada in their season curtain raiser.
Athletic were in Europa League action on Thursday and looked drained in what was their eighth game of the season in all competitions.
Eibar overpowered Ernesto Valverde's men in midfield and started putting them under pressure early on. Saul Berjon forced a save from Athletic stopper Gorka Iraizoz after a quarter of an hour and from the resulting corner defender Mauro dos Santos forced the custodian into another quick-reaction save to turn away the Brazilian's header.
The hosts were awarded a penalty shortly after the half hour mark when Laporte lost the ball in his area and clumsily tripped Sergi Enrich. Berjon powered past Iraizoz from the spot to give Eibar a deserved lead.
Iraizoz was called into action again in the second half to keep out a shot from Keko with his legs, but was beaten for a second time by Adrian's header from the subsequent corner.
Even with a two goal cushion, Eibar did not relent, and only further saves from Iraizoz to deny Dos Santos for a second time and Borja Baston denied them a third goal.
Sevilla 0-3 Atletico Madrid
Jackson Martinez came off the bench to score his first Atletico Madrid goal in a 3-0 win over Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
The 28-year-old Colombian forward moved to the Spanish capital over the summer after a prolific spell in Portugal with Porto and the South American opened his account with Atleti to cap off a comfortable win for Diego Simeone's men.
Spain international Koke prodded in the opener 10 minutes before the interval and Martinez's introduction as a 78th-minute substitute to replace Fernando Torres paid dividends to the tune of two further goals.
He had been on the pitch a matter of seconds when Gabi's deflected effort beat Beto to make it 2-0 and Martinez then found the net himself following a smart one-two with Antoine Griezmann.
Martinez had started his debut in the 1-0 win over Las Palmas for Atletico's opening contest in the Primera Division, yet Torres was preferred as the fulcrum of their attack in Seville.
The hosts were unfortunate not to lead when Coke's right-wing cross nearly evaded Fernando Llorente and reached fellow full-back Benoit Tremoulinas, whose near-post effort was repelled by goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
The 2014 Spanish champions held a half-time lead, though, thanks to Koke's first league goal since March.
Sevilla wanted a foul as back-peddling pair Griezmann and Daniel Carrico fell to the ground but the former, who appeared to have been pulled to the ground anyway, slipped a pass through to Koke on the floor and the midfielder jabbed it into the far corner of the net.
Griezmann appealed in vain for an early second-half penalty as he squeezed between Carrico and Grzegorz Krychowiak, while Koke should have done better with a first-time effort which he bent straight at Beto.
Torres then fired wide on an evening when he was largely disappointing and it was the arrival of Martinez that helped Atleti put the contest to bed.
He was still jogging forward from the sideline when the visitors' skipper Gabi let fly from 30 yards out, with the ball striking Krychowiak's back and deflecting it beyond Beto.
And Martinez then got in on the act himself five minutes from time against a tiring defence.
With Sevilla demoralised and allowing the striker space outside the edge of the area, he played a give-and-go with Griezmann and lifted a left-footed effort around the goalkeeper and into the net, much to the delight of Simeone and the Atleti bench.
Griezmann had set up two and almost claimed one for himself with a stoppage-time try that Martinez had teed up which arched around Beto and came back off the far post, with Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco then driving the rebound wide.
Valencia 1-1 Deportivo
Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna are still searching for their first Primera Division win of the season after playing out a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla stadium on Sunday.
Lucas Perez fired Deportivo in front with a spectacular long-range strike on 38 minutes, but their lead lasted only seven minutes as Alvaro Negredo rifled home from close range just before half-time to restore parity.
Hosts Valencia were reduced to 10 men late on as defender Antonio Barragan was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.
Negredo was set up by Rodrigo De Paul with 20 minutes gone but the former Sevilla and Manchester City man shot narrowly wide.
Lucas then fired Deportivo into the lead in the 38th minute with a superb long-range strike that silenced the majority of supporters assembled inside the Mestalla.
The midfielder, who joined permanently after a successful loan spell at the Estadio Riazor last season, cut inside from the right flank and unleashed an unstoppable left-foot shot from just outside the penalty area that nestled into the corner as goalkeeper Mathew Ryan dived helplessly.
But their lead would last only seven minutes as Negredo atoned for his earlier miss with an close-rage equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
The Spain international showcased his predatory instincts by peeling away at the far post to smash a knock-down header from Santi Mina's cross past visiting keeper German Lux.
Danilo Barbosa had a glorious chance to put Valencia in front early in the second half but he could only head onto the crossbar from point-blank range at the far post after Rodrigo De Paul's free-kick was headed back across goal.
Jonathan Rodriguez, on for Juanfran, slotted past Ryan with 10 minutes left but referee Jose Gonzalez correctly disallowed the goal after the Uruguay international forward had fouled Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi in the build-up.
Valencia were forced to finish the game a man down when right-back Barragan was dismissed after picking up two yellow cards in quick succession but Deportivo could not profit and were therefore forced to settle for a share of the spoils.
