Villarreal scrapes Bilbao win, consolidates CL place

Preview: Athletic - Villarreal

Gonzalo Rodríguez, Sporting's Savior?
If the lovable Manolo Preciado's men from Gijón avoid the drop, they may owe it to a certain Argentine central defender in Vila-real. We haven't seen much of bad Gonzalo this year, coming off a season of turmoil under Valverde and the influence of some bad seeds, but he has been at his worst...
