"In La Liga, Espanyol missed a chance to consolidate their high-flying position as they lost 2-1 at home to Alaves they took the lead through Roberto Fernandez in the 15th minute, but Antonio Blanco levelled 12 minutes later and the points were secured when Lucas Boye finished a counterattack from close range with 19 minutes remaining. It means Espanyol go into the weekend fifth but that defeat extended their winless run to five games."
"Derby thrashed Bristol City 5-0 at Ashton Gate to leapfrog their opponents and move into the Championship playoff places. First-half goals from Rhian Brewster, Ben Brereton Diaz and Bobby Clark were added to by Patrick Agyemang and Lars-Jrgen Salvesen as the rampant Rams recorded a third win in four games. The visitors took a 13th-minute lead when Callum Elder's cross from the left found Brewster unmarked to send a low right-footed volley past Radek Vitek from a 12 yards out. Before City could recover, they were caught playing out from the back and Clark's pass set up Brereton Diaz, who drove home a 16th-minute shot through a defender's legs from a narrow angle."
