After displaying the kind of form worthy of a title contender earlier in the campaign, Villarreal dropped off in the winter and suffered an unexpected Copa del Rey exit to fourth-tier Pontevedra.

But Marcelino’s men are still just four points off fourth-place Athletic Bilbao, with only Barcelona (65) and Real Madrid (52) having scored more goals in La Liga than Villarreal (47) so far this term.

The Yellow Submarine found the lead last time out through Pape Gueye but couldn’t hold on for all three points after Umar Sadiq struck with minutes remaining to secure a result for Valencia:

Rayo, meanwhile, failed to keep its own win streak alive at Barcelona and succumbed 1-0 in Catalonia thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s deciding penalty.

Inigo Perez’s men are unbeaten in four at the Estadio de Vallecas and have won their last three games at the venue, the club’s longest such streak in a little less than two years.

Prior to that winning run, Rayo managed to repel Real Madrid with a 3-3 draw at home, hoping to channel some of that belief in the hopes of grasping a positive result against close rival Villarreal.
