VILLARREAL 5-ALAVÉS 2 | With Parejo it becomes Day

Villarreal ends the year in free climbing for the League, while Alavés goes on vacation in the descent. In a seen and unseen, with three victories in a row, Emery’s men have been fully involved in the fight for Europe, placing themselves five points behind the Champions League, an area that did not see eleven at all. The truth is that it was a matter of time before they were where they should be, because their crisis was only about results, and with Gerard Moreno life looks yellow. Another double from the forward, who has scored five goals in the last three games, although the quid of this Villarreal, the reason to always keep him in mind is that despite his performance, Gerard was not the star against Alavés, Dia and Parejo were., who gave a master class, another one, of assists.

Alavés, don’t let the 5-2 result mislead them, swam for the points until very close to shore. But those of Calleja succumbed to the yellow punch. Alavés, yes, got into the game when few were waiting for him. Until Pere Pons’ goal, which came one minute before the break, Villarreal had practically done what they wanted. The first half hour of the yellow team was unleashed, their last fifteen minutes, too.

The 1-0 play is one that goes so well few times in life. The double wall between Parejo and Gerard Moreno was cartoonish. God raises them and Unai brings them together. Speed, precision and execution. That goal was accompanied the first of the afternoon of Dia, after assistance from Trigueros, and another from Chukwueze that was annulled for offside. Alavés had enough to go into halftime, losing by just two goals, and yet they did so with the faith that Pere Pons’ goal gave them, who spliced ​​a ball that Joselu fought with his left foot.

Calleja advanced his lines after the break and as a result of it, and an incompensible mistake by Pau Torres, came the tie, work of Joselu, who is going for nine this League. Villarreal was knocked out for a few minutes by that unexpected blow. In addition, the legs began to accuse the carousel of matches of the yellows, while the tie spurred the Vitoria. But Emery, with three changes, balanced the forces and Parejo, with a delightful pass to Dia, broke Alavés. Then Pino and again Gerard joined the party and the thing ended in a landslide. But it was that pass between Parejo’s lines, drawn with the precision of a surgeon and Lazarillo’s mischief, the one who made La Cerámica become Dia.
