MADRID, Spain -- Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid continued their perfect record under new coach Wanderley Luxemburgo by winning 3-0 away to neighbors Atletico and edging to second place in the Spanish table.
With leaders Barcelona crashing 3-0 at Villarreal Real joined Valencia on 35 points, seven adrift, with an identical goal record but an extra victory.
Brazilian midfielder Fredson Camara scored with two headers as Espanyol beat Osasuna and went fourth.
Real were somewhat flattered by the margin of their victory over Atletico.
Ronaldo's goals came either side of one from Argentine winger Santiago Solari but Atletico had their chances and Fernando Torres went close several times.
Only heroics from Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas kept out Atletico, who lost their unbeaten home record.
Former Manchester United forward Diego Forlan scored twice as Villarreal became only the second side to defeat Barcelona in the league.
He struck after 30 and 85 minutes, with Gonzalo Rodriguez notching the other three minutes after the break.
Argentine forward Maxi Rodriguez and midfielder Ivan De La Pena added to Fredson's brace for Espanyol, who rallied for their first win in three matches after striker Pierre Webo had given Osasuna the lead.
After striker Webo put Osasuna ahead in the 16th minute, defender Enrique Corrales headed past his own goalkeeper in the 32nd minute, allowing Rodriguez to score the equalizer.
Espanyol took the lead five minutes later when Fredson powered home a header off the crossbar and they added a third in the 40th minute through De La Pena's floated free kick from the edge of the area.
Fredson doubled his tally in the 83rd with a header from a cross by striker Raul Tamudo.
Japan striker Yoshito Okubo scored and also laid on a goal on his debut for Mallorca in a 2-2 draw with Deportivo La Coruna.
Okubo, who recently joined struggling Mallorca from Cerezo Osaka, helped his team equalize twice after Spain forward Albert Luque had twice given Deportivo the lead in the 51st and 63rd minutes.
Crowned debut
Okubo set up the chance for striker Luis Garcia to head home in the 57th minute, and then crowned his debut with a headed goal seven minutes later.
The draw left Deportivo without a win in six games, while Mallorca remained in 19th with 14 points.
Zaragoza earned their first victory in five home games with Brazilian forward Savio Bortolini's rising shot in the 44th minute against Real Betis.
Striker Javi Guerrero and Uruguay's Mario Regueiro scored before halftime to earn Santander their first victory in eight games and pile more pressure on Malaga's beleaguered coach Gregorio Manzano.
Malaga, languishing in 18th with 15 points, scored a late consolation goal through Cesar Navas.
A mass brawl in injury time led to the dismissal of Malaga's Alexis Ruano and Miguel Angel Lozano, together with Santander's Mehdi Nafti.
