Second-placed Valencia lost for the first time in La Liga this season as Getafe beat them to leave Barcelona five points clear at the top.<\/p>\n

The hosts, who move up to eighth in the table, played 65 minutes with 10 men after Mauro Arambarri was sent off for a second booking.<\/p>\n

Markel Bergara scored the only goal, with his 25-yard strike deflecting in off Gabriel Paulista.<\/p>\n

Dani Parejo almost levelled when his free-kick struck the base of a post.<\/p>\n

Simone Zaza, who is the joint second top scorer in the league, missed a glorious chance to equalise deep into injury time, when he headed over from close range.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Sunday, Leganes moved up to seventh by scoring three times in the last 18 minutes to beat sixth-placed Villarreal 3-1.<\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid, who are one point below Valencia, were the only top-four team to win in La Liga this weekend – coming from behind to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Barcelona drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo and Real Madrid were held 0-0 by Athletic Bilbao.<\/p>\n
