They are also undefeated in their last 11 home matches in La Liga having recorded five draws and six wins.
 
Unai Emery, the Villarreal manager, believes the team is on the right path despite their recent draw with Huesca. 
 
"We're going away unsatisfied because we dropped two points. Despite that, we put in a solid performance, stopping them from creating chances," Emery said. 
 
"We had control, but we found it hard to create chances to decide the game. We need to take small steps forward in order to get a win.
 
"I'm happy with the work, the attitude and the trajectory up to now. The team is on the right path. We have to continue to work hard to find more consistency that would allow us to fight to be in the top four. Despite today's draw being a setback, we're still in that fight."
