Athletic v Eibar
Athletic Bilbao 5-2 Eibar
Athletic Bilbao came from behind to secure a 5-2 win over Eibar to cement their place in the top half of the Primera Division.In an entertaining game, Eibar took the lead in just the fourth minute when on-loan striker Borja Baston finished off a counter attack with a neat finish for the first of his two goals.However, the visitors were in front for less than 10 minutes when Bilbao equalised through Aritz Aduriz, who latched onto a cross from Oscar De Marcos.Bilbao were ahead on 27 minutes courtesy of a header from forward Sabin before Aymeric Laporte made it 3-1 just five minutes before the break.The goals continued to flow in the second half, with the visitors clawing one back on 50 minutes through Baston from the penalty spot after a foul by Laporte.The hosts regained their two-goal advantage just two minutes later when Aduriz tapped home a Mikel Balenziaga cross for his second.The result was confirmed when Argentine defender Mauro Dos Santos turned the ball into his own net on 80 minutes, giving the home side a comfortable victory.A ninth win of the season takes Bilbao on to 31 points, just two behind Eibar, who remain in sixth place in the table.ends
