(Reuters) - Villarreal won 3-1 away to Getafe in La Liga on Wednesday following a glut of goals in the second half to maintain their push for a Champions League spot, practically crushing Getafe's hopes of a top-four finish in the process.

Santi Cazorla put Villarreal ahead from the penalty spot in the 66th minute then restored their advantage with a second spot-kick in the 86th after Hugo Duro had equalised for Getafe in the 80th.

Getafe had furiously protested both penalties and tensions boiled over when the fulltime whistle came, as numerous players clashed before heading down the tunnel to their respective dressing rooms. Getafe's hopes of qualifying for Europe's elite competition for the first time are all but over, however, as they were left sitting sixth in the table on 53.
