The latest win increased Madrid's advantage over second-placed Barcelona, who thrashed Murcia 4-0 on Saturday night. Eidur Gudjohnsen put the Catalan giants ahead before a Bojan Krkic strike and a late double from Samuel Eto'o gave Frank Rijkaard's men a convincing win. Atletico Madrid climbed up to third on Sunday after scraping past troubled Valencia 1-0. Sergio Aguero netted the only goal of a scrappy encounter at the Vicente Calderon as Atletico took advantage of Espanyol's shock defeat at Almeria to move into the top three. Espanyol's 17-match unbeaten run came to a sorry end when they were deservedly beaten 1-0 by Almeria. The Barcelona-based side produced a sterile performance and went down to a late strike from substitute Kalu Uche. Villarreal twice came from behind to beat Deportivo La Coruna 3-2. Sergio Gonzalez put the Galicians in front with a penalty on 27 minutes, but Giuseppe Rossi levelled moments later with another spot-kick. Deportivo then retook the lead on the hour mark through Pablo Amo, but were pegged back again by Nihat Kahveci minutes later. The Turkey striker popped up again with his side's third on 69 minutes and substitute Jon-Dahl Tomasson added a fourth from the penalty spot late on to secure a valuable victory for the hosts and compound the misery of a Depor side short on confidence and now four points from safety in the Primera Liga.
