Surprise packages Alaves are second in La Liga after beating struggling Villarreal 2-1 on Sunday.

The Yellow Submarine took an early lead through Gerard Moreno's close-range finish but Jonathan Calleri headed Alaves level after the break and Borja Baston volleyed home a stoppage-time winner.

Sevilla climbed up to third after bouncing back from last weekend's 4-2 defeat at Barca with a 2-1 home win over last-placed Huesca.

Pablo Sarabia, who also netted in Thursday's 6-0 Europa League mauling of Akhisarspor, stuck in the 65th and 78th minutes before Huesca grabbed a late consolation through Jorge Pulido.

It was Sevilla's fifth victory in their last six league games and leaves them two points off top spot.
