David Villa took his season tally to eight goals Sunday with a double that helped Valencia beat Numancia 4-0 and return to the top of the Spanish league. Juanma Mata and Vicente Rodriguez scored the other goals at Mestalla stadium as Valencia continued its impressive start to the season under coach Unai Emery, who took charge in May. Valencia has won six and drawn the other in its seven league matches this season, while it also has a perfect home record. Unbeaten Sevilla rose into second place with a 1-0 victory at Almeria, which came courtesy of Adriano Correia's 52nd-minute goal.
