La Liga: Villarreal win over Deportivo Alavés

Villarreal  glimpses the European zone of the classification after chaining his third consecutive triumph in La Liga after thrashing at Deportivo Alavés for 5-2, a result that leaves the Vitoria team in the relegation zone.
Gerard Moreno, just back from injury, fired them into the lead in the 18th minute before Boulaye Dia doubled it in the 27th. Pere Pons pulled one backs for Alaves a minute shy of half-time, however, and Joselu equalised five minutes after the hour.
Hopes of a stirring comeback were misplaced, however. Dia scored again in the 76th minute before assisting Yeremy Pino in the 79th – Moreno put the final nail in Alaves’ coffin in the 88th.
The result leaves Villarreal in ninth, very much looking ahead rather than behind their shoulders. They’re now two points behind Barcelona and four off the top six. 
The match was hosted at the Ceramica Stadium was led by referee Valentin Pizarro Gomez.
