Two goals in either half from man of the match, Vedat Muriqi, who also got an assist, and Amath Ndiaye handed the relegation side a comfortable win on the night.

Villarreal dominated the encounter from start to finish but a clinical display from the visitors means Setien will have to wait a while longer for his first win since he replaced Unai Emery.
