Pique levelled in the 63rd minute but the home side had to settle for a 2-2 draw which took them back to the top of the LaLiga table on goal difference.

Wissam Ben Yedder plundered a first-half hat-trick as Sevilla scored six times away from home in LaLiga for the first time to win 6-2 at Levante.

Ben Yedder struck after 11, 35 and 45 minutes either side of Roger Marti's equaliser and the visitors' second from Daniel Carrico.

Andre Silva and Pablo Sarabia made it 6-1 before the hour-mark, but Levante, who had seen a 26th-minute Jose Luis Morales penalty saved by Tomas Vaclik, reduced the deficit at the end through Simon Kjaer's own goal.

Marc Bartra and Sergio Canales snatched a 2-2 draw for Real Betis as 10-man Athletic Bilbao allowed a commanding lead to slip at the Benito Villamarin.

Athletic roared into a 2-0 lead inside 18 minutes as Inaki Williams and Raul Garcia both found the back of the net, but they were dealt a blow on the stroke of half-time when captain Markel Susaeta was sent off after collecting a second yellow card.

Betis needed just six minutes of the second half to make their numerical advantage count when defender Bartra pulled a goal back, and they were level with 22 minutes remaining when Canales struck.

Valencia emerged from their derby trip to Villarreal with a 0-0 draw despite playing the final 32 minutes with only 10 men.

The visitors had skipper Dani Parejo sent off for a 58th-minute challenge on Ramiro Funes Mori, but created the better chances as time ran down with home keeper Sergio Asenjo having to save from substitute Goncalo Guedes and Denis Cheryshev.
