‘Osasuna is a difficult away day’ is generally accepted as a reasonable statement. After all, neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona left Pamplona with three points this season.
Athletic Bilbao clearly didn’t get that memo, as Ernesto Valverde’s side went there on Sunday and stung Osasuna to the tune of five.
They scored six and four in their previous league games, so this weekend’s 5-1 win elevates them to 15 goals in their last three matches. Markel Susaeta opened the scoring, with Aritz Aduriz (2), Ibai Gomez and Kike Sola completing the rout.
There wasn’t much for the home side, who conceded 23 fouls, to shout about, although they did score with their only shot on target.
Athletic are now five points clear in the final Champions League spot after Villarreal lost 1-0 to Real Valladolid. Real Sociedad can move within six points with a win against Elche on Monday night.
