Ter Stegen brilliance 

Granada had moved temporarily top of La Liga before derby after Antonio Puertas' first-half strike saw m squeeze past rock-bottom Leganes. Puertas crashed his long-range winner into an empty net after Juan Soria had come charging out of his goal to close down Roberto Soldado just before half-hour mark. A remarkable counter-attack goal launched by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and finished off by Luis Suarez put Barcelona on ir way four minutes before break at Getafe, and Junior's tap-in shortly after restart made sure of Barca's first away win since April. Ter Stegen is embroiled in a row with Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer over Barca stopper's lack of opportunities with Germany team.

"This match was crucial for us to rid ourselves of sensation of never being able to win away," said Valverde. "We didn't play well in first half but once we took lead y basically didn't have any chances." 

However, he showed his class when he raced out of his goal to stop a Getafe attack before launching a pinpoint pass over home side's dozing defence to Suarez, who calmly lobbed opener over David Soria. "Sometimes when passes come off like this goalkeeper is just clearing ball. I don't kw if that is case here, but regardless he brings us a lot," added Valverde. win was Barca's second in a week as y attempt to recover from a miserable start that led to questions surrounding Valverde's future. Athletic Bilbao lost for first time this season at home to crisis club Valencia, who bagged ir second win of season thanks to Denis Cheryshev's 27th minute strike. 'Los Che' had been sent into turmoil when owner Peter Lim sacked Marceli Garcia Toral earlier in month. But despite player and fan anger at Lim's decision, two draws and w a win after ir shock victory at Chelsea in Champions League have m in ninth on nine points.
