Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are within a point of Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of La Liga after results on Sunday. Atleti produced a hard-fought 3-1 win at home to struggling Espanyol, while Sevilla earned bragging rights in the Seville derby by beating Real Betis 2-1 later in the day.
Earlier, Atletic Bilbao joined the top six thanks to a narrow victory over Levante on home soil, with Iker Muniain among the goalscorers. Meanwhile, Getafe and Osasuna played out the day's only goalless game at the Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
The day began with Mallorca increasing the gap between themselves and the bottom three by seeing off Villarreal, thanks in large part to excellent performances from Real Madrid loanee Takefusa Kubo and Aleix Febas.
