Villarreal draw with Valladolid

Madrid: Villarreal remained winless in 10 consecutive Spanish League matches after a 0-0 draw at 14th-place Valladoli. The visitors, used to finishing much higher, stayed second from bottom with three victories from 23 games. It was Villarreal’s second draw since re-hiring coach Javi Calleja in place of Luis Garcia Plaza, less than two months after he was fired. “We have to keep trying,” goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo said. “We played a disciplined match and there are positive things we can take from it.” Villarreal faces Sevilla at home and Atletico Madrid away.
