Málaga players will be popping anti-vertigo pills after a 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao propelled them to second place in La Liga, Cazorla the goal scorer.
Real Madrid will be disappointed with a 0-0 draw at Racing, but that’s all they could manage.
Barcelona shared the points with leaders Valencia, twice coming from behind in a pulsating match.
Valencia took the lead in the twelfth minute courtesy of an own goal by Abidal but two minutes later they were level again after a fine goal from Pedro. Ten minutes later, Pablo put Valencia back in the driving seat and kept their lead until the seventy-seventh minute when Fabregas slotted the ball home to make it 2-2. And that’s the way it stayed.
Real Betis still have to play their match against Zaragoza and there is every possibility they could go top of La Liga.
