It's developing into a Cinderella story.
Villareal, the team relegated a year ago, found itself on top of La Liga by dominating Osasuna 3-0 in El Sadar. The win is its third as in many starts, previously beating UD Almeria and Villadolid. The goals came in 22nd minute as Jeremy Perbet scored from a cross. It did not take long for the Yellow Submarine to score the second goal as it came in the 30th minute as Bruno Soriano got tangled in the middle of the penalty box only for Javier Aquino to pick up and send home the ball to an empty net.
Villareal ended the night with a brilliant finish. Javier Aquino broke away at midfield then pass it on to Giovanni di Santos who delivered a cross to a surging Ichechukwu Uche for a smooth tap in.
Villareal is now on top of the La Liga standing with 9 points, 3 points ahead of defending champion Barcelona. That could change however if Barcelona can score a victory against Valencia on September 1. Villareal will find its real test as it will tangle against heavyweight Real Madrid on September 14 on its home ground at El Madrigal.
