Villarreal secured a third consecutive win thanks to a goal of the season contender from Nicola Sansone in a 2-1 success at home to Real Sociedad.
Alexandre Pato missed a penalty after a quarter of an hour for the Yellow Submarine before Sansone opened the scoring with a cool finish from Roberto Soriano's disguised pass.
He added a second with a 60-yard strike which caught Sociedad goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli off his line in the 25th minute, with Yuri's angled drive halving the deficit for the visitors 10 minutes later.
In the early game, Celta Vigo secured their first point of the season with a goalless draw against Osasuna in Pamplona to leave Valencia as the only side yet to open their account.
The visitors struck the woodwork twice through Daniel Wass and Iago Aspas.
