Lewandowski scores brace as Barca thrash Real Madrid in Clasico
The win lifts Barca six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga and also means Real Madrid's run of 42 La Liga games without defeat comes to an end, reports Xinhua.
Eibar eked out a 1-0 win here against Villarreal to move up to seventh place in the La Liga, just three points behind the team they had defeated.
The visitors threatened first, a Roger Martinez header in the 2nd minute that was deflected wide, and the eventual winning goal came in the 16th minute from Eibar’s Kike Garcia on Wednesday, reports Efe.

Villarreal had a great chance to pull level in the 32nd minute, but Unal’s direct free kick sailed harmlessly over the cross-bar.

Unal wasted another opportunity minutes before the break.
Villarreal had more of the ball to start the second half, though that created additional space for Eibar on the counter.
Home side keeper Dmitrovic denied Martinez in the 74th minute and again in the final 10 minutes and Eibar managed to see out the match to claim all three points.
