Sevilla beat Elche 2-0 with second-half goals from Carlos Bacca and Kevin Gameiro to move up to second in La Liga while Tiago got the opener in Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win over Espanyol on Sunday.
Deportivo la Coruna moved off the bottom of the table after Toche sealed a 3-0 win to dent Valencia's bright start to the season.
Bacca finally ended the resistance from Elche when he knocked in a rebound on the hour after a save by goalkeeper Manu Herrera from a Gerard Deulofeu shot.
As Elche pushed forward to get back into the game, the lively Denis Suarez broke down the left and crossed for Gameiro to head home.
"We have learnt how to cope with difficult moments and they (Elche) did well," Sevilla coach Unai Emery told a news conference. "We had two good counter-attacks but we were not able to dominate the opposition."
"Our position in the table isn't important at the moment but maybe it is a motivation for us."
Sevilla have 19 points from eight games, a point more than Real Madrid who beat Levante 5-0 on Saturday. Barcelona lead the standings on 22 points following their 3-0 victory over Eibar.
Valencia slipped to fourth, level with Atletico on 17 points.
FINE LEAP
Atletico's Tiago leapt well to steer Gabi's cross into the top corner before the break against Espanyol and substitute Mario Suarez scored from close range in the 71st minute.
