Ronald Araujo headed home the other goal in a one-sided game in which Barcelona had enough chances to score seven or eight.

Elsewhere on Sunday, there were very few goals in La Liga with just two goals in the other four matches.
Sevilla did their faltering title hopes no good as they could only draw 0-0 at home to Real Sociedad.
They stay in second place but with only nine games remaining they have little hope of a shock title victory. The result also did Real Sociedad little good in their top-four chase.
Real Betis‘ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League also took another blow as they drew 0-0 at Celta Vigo.
Villarreal had the result of the week in beating Juventus 3-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday but then followed that up by losing 1-0 to relegation-threatened Cadiz through a last minute Ruben Sobrino goal.

The big result on Saturday was Atletico Madrid‘s 1-0 win at Rayo Vallecano, which strengthens their position in the top four.
