Moleiro leads Villarreal's win over Alaves to strengthen hold on third in La Liga
Alberto Moleiro scored his eighth goal and assisted another as Villarreal secured a 3-1 win, maintaining a three-point lead over fourth place with a game in hand.
- On Saturday, Villarreal beat Alavés 3-1 as Alberto Moleiro scored and assisted Georges Mikautadze's goal.
- Moleiro has emerged as a standout this season, regarded as one of La Liga's sensations whose eighth goal helps Villarreal CF hold third place at the season's midway mark after Yeremy Pino left for Crystal Palace.
- Curling a long-range shot, Moleiro opened the scoring with a strike from outside the area just after halftime, Gerard Moreno volleyed in the 55th, and Mikautadze finished after a slipped pass.
- Villarreal remain positioned behind Barcelona and Real Madrid while the win keeps them in touch with the La Liga front-runners; they are eight points, four behind, with one more game in hand.
- With the big clubs occupied in Saudi Arabia, Villarreal can press their advantage as they sit three points clear of fourth-placed Atlético Madrid at the midway point.
