Villarreal sit top of the Spanish Liga table after last night's 2-0 victory over Racing Santander.

Juan Capdevila and Jose Llorente struck for the Yellow Submarines and coach Manuel Pellegrini said: "We've managed to win a game when we weren't at our best.

"We struggled for fluency, but still managed to find something to win tonight - that's a good sign.

"Being top of the table isn't important at the moment, what is important is to be winning. But being first is still nice!"
