it was a dramatic victory for Villarreal. 2 goals in the last 10 minutes shows the loss of focus Espanyol. and that was put to good use by Villarreal to get the winning points. the tension of the game suddenly increased when the game was almost over, however, Valencia had to admit Villarreal's advantage. and accept staying in the relegation zone. they have to try harder to get out. they still have a chance.
I also bet on Villarreal in this match. And I also have no doubts about my bet. but yeah things were a bit tense when the score was still the same until the 79th minute. but a goal by N. Jackson in the 80th minute really changed everything in that match. and even Villarreal became more aggressive at the end of the match and managed to score again. but I honestly admit that Espanyol played better than I expected. but they were caught off guard at the end of the game. And now Espanyol must be willing to be in the relegation zone. but the tough competition to avoid the relegation zone still continues. and yeah, as you said, Espanyol still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone.
Espanyol fought hard in this match to get points and get out of the relegation zone but Villarreal is a team that is in top form and very difficult to beat, Villarreal's victory was quite deserved in this match and I don't deny that this match was very fierce because Espanyol fought hard for can take points.
now Villarreal has again climbed to 5th place in the standings and they are again competing to be able to finish in the European zone, the competition is very fierce between Real Betis and Real Sociedad, which are only a few points apart.
