Away to Sevilla FC, home to RC Celta Vigo and away to Mallorca. Villarreal have won all these games with late goals in the 94th minute or later. They are also the bookie’s favourites to get fourth spot this season.<\/p>\n
Europe watched on in awe last season when Spanish football legend Xabi Alonso led his Bayer Leverkusen to an unlikely first-ever Bundesliga title. In doing so, they produced some staggering stoppage time performances, scoring fifteen goals after the ninety-minute mark. There’s now a team in Spain who are starting to show similar signs at the outset of the new campaign.<\/p>\n

Villarreal CF have three wins from their opening five matches and have left it until the final few breaths to get each of the jobs done. They might struggle to match the current German champions’ \u201cinvincible\u201d feat, but notable similarities have already been spotted<\/a> between the two sides.<\/p>\n It all started on matchday two when new signing Ayoze P\u00e9rez volleyed home from a loose ball to score the winner away to Sevilla. The former Real Betis player was signed in the summer to replace twenty-three-goal striker Alexander Sorloth, who departed to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid.<\/p>\n Just three days later, a turbulent game at home to Celta Vigo finished with a penalty awarded to Villarreal in the 100th minute of the game. Up stepped Dani Parejo who saw his effort saved before turning in the rebound. Astonishingly, Florian Wirtz did exactly that to help Leverkusen win their opening game of the new season in the 101st minute.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong> La Liga Make Huge \u2018Strategic\u2019 Decision Betraying Fans Again<\/a><\/p>\n The team from La Cer\u00e1mica pulled their latest rabbit out of the hat with a 2-1 victory away at Mallorca. Ayoze P\u00e9rez, once again, was the man to pull his team past their ten-man opposition. The other two fixtures not mentioned were respectable draws against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid at home, and away to local rivals Valencia CF. Manager Marcelino Garc\u00eda can be pleased with his team’s performances.<\/p>\n At this stage, the collection of late goals is nothing more than an observation, a coincidence perhaps. However, the Yellow Submarine are being suggested by many to finish fourth behind the usual big three come the end of the season. A summer of upheaval saw \u20ac74 million in sales come in<\/a>, allowing them to go shopping. Those behind the scenes managed to bring in a total of ten players in a clever blend of youth, experience and forgotten talent.<\/p>\nMarcelino’s Miracle Men<\/h3>\n
