A good win for the Blue and Whites against Villarreal on Monday night keeps them in fifth place in La Liga, although they are now eleven points behind Real Madrid.
Toulalan gave Málaga an early lead, scoring in the fourth minute but it wasn’t long before Marco Rubén levelled things up. Just before half time Isco found the net for Málaga and that’s the way it stayed until the end, 2-1 to Málaga.
