Villarreal stay inside the La Liga European spots this weekend as relegation battling Getafe secured a key win in Saturday’s action.
The Yellow Submarine left it late to secure all three points on the road, away at Almeria, with quickfire goals from Gerard Moreno and Samuel Chukwueze.
That victory keeps Villarreal in sixth place in the table, three points ahead of rivals Rayo Vallecano, who face Athletic Club tomorrow.
