Deportivo La Coruña 1-2 Las Palmas result, stats and report

Deportivo La Coruña came to the Estadio de la Cerámica, soaked up relentless pressure, and left with three points thanks to a late Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goal. Villarreal had the ball, the shots, and the chances. They did not have the result.

Málaga fought back from a goal down to claim a point through a 34th-minute penalty, but their inability to convert territorial dominance into clean chances raises questions about the structure of their attacking play at home.

SD Eibar arrive at Ipurua on the back of back-to-back 1-0 wins and carry real defensive momentum into Sunday's La Liga 2 fixture. Las Palmas have goals in them but concede far too freely, and the head-to-head record makes grim reading for the visitors.

Deportivo La Coruña welcome Real Betis to Galicia on Sunday with both sides sitting on two points from their opening La Liga fixtures, but the patterns behind those numbers tell two very different stories.

Las Palmas arrive at the Nuevo Mirandilla in the form of a side that knows how to win on the road, while Cádiz have spent the early weeks of the season searching for a defensive structure that simply does not yet exist.
