The Villarreal beat and thrashed Alavés this Wednesday in a clear yellow match thanks to the great effectiveness of the local duo, Alcácer-Gerard Moreno. The Submarine wanted to erase with a good victory the resentment that it dragged after the defeat it received at the Camp Nou last Sunday and it achieved it with an almost round match, being much superior to those of Machín.
Villarreal came out like a steamroller, riding Alavés from the first breath and wanting to get the game back on track quickly. And soon he put thread to the needle. At minute 12, the yellow ones warned and Alcacer did not arrive by a miracle to the center of Moi Gómez. But the ex of the Barça no longer failed to the following that had. Parejo leaked between the lines, Gaspar center and Alcacer, with a subtle touch, put the 1-0 before the first quarter.
Villarreal put the fifth and had options to make the second, percussing by the extremes and with Alcacer and Gerard Moreno very canine. The former Espanyol had a goal annulled in the 27'-
And when more he bit and forgave Villarreal, a vase of ice water for the locals because of a big 'blunder' by Asenjo. He yellow goal gave the goal to Alavés after miscalculating at the time of clearing in his departure by high and leaving a dead ball that Edgar Méndez took advantage to tie.
The blow was hard but the Submarine was rebuilt thanks to his tremendous gunpowder and the good work of Parejo and Moi Gómez. Thus, in 45 ', Gerard Moreno returned to advance to the yellow eleven when transforming a penalty, reviewed by the VAR, by a foul by Lejeune on Gaspar.
After the break, Unai Emery's team left motorized again to sign the sentence. Alavés was not very scary, although Edgar impaled a good shot (58 ’) that almost surprised Asenjo.
The Submarine continued to his own, searching with speed the back of the Vitorian rear. Moi Gómez had it but his goal was annulled, but Alcacer did sign the sentence in 67'After a devastating local attack. Gerard hit the post first and the Valencian caught the rejection and put the 3-1.
