La Liga Table 2019: Latest Standings Following Friday's Week 2 Results

Sevilla went to the top of La Liga by edging past Granada on Friday. A Joan Jordan goal in the second half was all the visitors needed to win this Andalusian derby and earn a second straight victory.

By contrast, Villarreal ended the night slipping to a controversial defeat in Levante. The Yellow Submarine appeared in firm control after Gerard Moreno's early goal.

However, two second-half penalties converted by substitute Roger Marti turned things around for the home side. The first of those conversions came after Villarreal goalkeeper Andres Fernandez had made a double save, but VAR ruled he was off his line, so Marti got another chance he didn't waste.
