A disastrous start to the season for the Blue and Whites, who have now gone four games without scoring a goal. This time they lost 2-0 to Valencia. Two from David Villa were enough to see Valencia return to the top of La Liga.
Goals from Maresca and Chevantón were enough for Sevilla to seal victory against the early pacesetters Espanyol who now slip down to eighth place. The next few games for Espanyol see them taking on Barcelona, Real Madrid and Villarreal, quite a daunting prospect.
