Dani Parejo hits against his former club Valencia to provide Villarreal the match-winning goal, as Villarreal continue their strong start. Parejo haunts Valencia while his current club wins by 2-1 over his former club. After a nine-year stint at Valencia, the club handed him a free transfer his year but Parejo did not hold back during the faceoff by striking in the 69th minute the match-winning goal on his Villarreal debut even if Japan international Takefusa Kubo left them with a 10-men team to defend against Valencia. They toped the league for a brief period when Real Sociedad claimed the place later that day. Elsewhere Athletic Bilbao claimed their first home win against Levante by 2-0, Elche continues on their third unbeaten run with a 2-0 win against Alaves. Huesca and Real Valladolid both still continue with a winless run after a 2-2 draw.
