Villarreal crushed near neighbours Valencia 3-0 on Saturday to keep up their challenge for a place in next season's Champions League.
Goals from Robert Pires, Nihat Kahveci and Joan Capdevila gave the home team an easy win over a Valencia side that looks to be in freefall.
Ronald Koeman's men have now gone eight league games without a win and should this form continue for much longer they could even find themselves drawn into a relegation battle.
Getafe edged out Sevilla 3-2 in a dramatic five-goal thriller in Madrid.
Luis Fabiano gave the visitors the lead after quarter of an hour, but Francisco Javier Casquero and Juan Luis Albin struck either side of half-time to give Getafe a lead which they kept until the last minute.
Igor Dragutinovic looked to have salvaged a point for Sevilla with a late leveller, only to see his team slip to a 10th league defeat of the season following Cosmin Contra's dramatic late winner in injury time.
