Villarreal knocks Sociedad out of Copa

DAVID Moyes was sent off late in Real Sociedad’s 2-2 draw with Villarreal on Wednesday as his side bowed out of the Copa del Rey’s last 16.

The former Manchester United manager was dismissed for protesting about a refereeing decision. He then climbed over a barrier to take a seat in the stands, where he accepted and ate a ‘cheeto’ cheese crisp offered by a little girl, as his team failed to beat Villarreal for the third time since his arrival in November.

Villarreal extended its unbeaten run to 14 straight games as it advanced 3-2 on aggregate to the quarterfinals, where it will face Getafe next after its 1-0 win at Almeria sealed a 2-1 win over the two legs.

Sevilla had no trouble routing Granada 4-0 to reach the last eight with a 6-1 scoreline over both legs, earning a meeting with Espanyol.

Athletic Bilbao stumbled on after losing 0-2 at home to Celta Vigo, progressing on away goals, 4-4 on aggregate, amid boos from its own fans. Bilbao will play Malaga next.

In Italy, Lazio beat 10-man Torino 3-1 to reach the Italian Cup quarterfinals. Keita Balde put Lazio ahead after 13 minutes and Miroslav Klose doubled the lead in the 29th. Josef Martinez pulled one back for Torino but goalkeeper Daniele Padelli was sent off for a foul on Klose in the 55th and Cristian Ledesma converted the ensuing penalty.
