Villarreal ended an eventful week with a 1-0 defeat of Getafe at La Ceramica on Sunday afternoon.
Manu Trigueros scored the decisive goal in the tenth minute, assisted by Paco Alcacer.
Alcacer also had the ball in the net himself three minutes before half-time, only for VAR to rule out the goal.

Getafe are rock-bottom with just six points to their name, five points from safety.
