Kevin Gameiro scored Atletico Madrid's winner as they defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 at Balaidos to move up to third in La Liga.
Gameiro netted in the 28th minute for the visitors, firing home from close range after Celta had failed to deal with a corner.
The victory sees Atletico leapfrog rivals Real Madrid, who play Eibar later on Sunday, to leave them six points off leaders Barcelona.
Cedric Bakambu kept up his stunning scoring streak as Villarreal thumped lowly Las Palmas 4-0.
The striker took his tally to six goals in his last three La Liga outings with the opener three minutes after half-time.
Bakambu burst into the penalty area before crashing an angled drive into the roof of the net.
Mario Gaspar drove in the second from the edge of the area and then provided the cross which Ximo Navarro turned into his own net before Nicola Sansone added a fourth in stoppage time.
