And even more so as European football is at stake. Villarreal beat Valencia 2-0 in a hugely important win on their quest to secure a European spot. Two great volleys from Paco Alc\u00e1cer and Gerard Moreno were the difference on derby day. With this victory, the Yellow Submarine pick up 13 from 15 possible points on their return to league play after the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of Yellows fans were unable to attend the game in person at the Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica, but no doubt enjoyed the show from their television screens. This is for them and for all those that hold Villarreal in their hearts. Javi Calleja was without the injured Sofian Chakla and Funes Mori, as well as the suspended Alberto Moreno and Manu Trigueros. Despite these absences, the Yellows boss set up with a solid starting eleven. The intense heat meant the game wasn\u2019t as fast-paced, but there was plenty of quality on show. The Submarine started in fine form, creating their first chance just five minutes into the game. Mario Gaspar won the ball back and set Chukwueze on his way, the Nigerian letting rip a shot with his left foot that brushed the outside of the far post. It was the prelude to the first goal. In the 13th minute, Gerard Moreno received the ball out on the right and played a precise, curling cross into the box where Paco Alc\u00e1cer got on the end of it to fire a beautiful volley into the far bottom corner. The no.17 positioned his body for the strike as the ball came over and connected perfectly with it to open the scoring with an absolute screamer. What a goal. Following the opener, the Yellows dominated possession and the goalscoring chances just kept on coming. Santi Cazorla\u2019s corner that was headed at the post by Gerard Moreno definitely deserves a mention. A practiced play kept out by the narrowest of margins. Villarreal knocked the ball around in search of their second goal and they got it just before the break. It was a long play. First, Cazorla\u2019s freekick was struck towards goal by Albiol at the far post, and after a few attempts to clear the ball finally ended up at Asenjo\u2019s feet. The Villarreal no.1 played a long ball forward to Cazorla, who brought the ball out of the air with a first-time volleyed pass across the face of goal to Gerard, and the Yellows no.7 didn\u2019t think twice, smashing the ball into the back of the net with a sensational volley. The ball didn\u2019t even touch the floor before it was nestled in the back of Valencia\u2019s net (2-0, m. 44). Sublime stuff. In the second half, Calleja\u2019s men were very well organised defensively and still looked to press forward. Villarreal\u2019s first change was Bruno Soriano. The midfielder from Artana, who came back into the side after more than three years out to play some minutes against Sevilla, found himself with a good half an hour to leave his mark on today\u2019s game.
