BILBAO, Spain - Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz scored a hat trick to lead a 4-0 rout of 10-man Granada at home Friday, as the Basque side strengthened its hold on Spains last Champions League berth for next season. Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Bilbao defender Carlos Gurpegi capped the win in the 80th with a volley from outside the box. Bilbao could have won by a wider margin if it hadnt been for goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez. Granada didnt muster a shot on goal. Bilbaos first victory in its last three home games left it in fourth place and seven points ahead of Villarreal and Real Sociedad before they play matches Sunday. Real Madrid leads the league by three points over Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, and all three front-runners are far ahead of Bilbao and the other teams fighting for fourth place and the final Champions League spot. "Im happy the team won again," Aduriz said. "To stay at the top you have to keep winning week after week. There is a long way to go and it will be very tough, because there are some good teams in the fight. But we will give it our all to stay in fourth place." Granadas fifth consecutive loss away from home left it in five points from the relegation zone. Madrid visits Atletico on Sunday, when Barcelona hosts Almeria. Also, Sociedad plays at Sevilla, Villarreal hosts Real Betis, and Valencia is at Rayo Vallecano. On Saturday, its: Malaga vs. Valladolid, Levante vs. Osasuna, Getafe vs. Espanyol, and Elche vs. Celta Vigo. Andre Dawson Cubs Jersey .

Sanchezs deep pass over the middle for tight end Zach Ertz on the final play of the quarter was intercepted by J.J. Wilcox. The Cowboys scored off the turnover to stretch the lead to 35-24.I think Mark was off-balance, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. It didnt look like it was a good throw.It sure wasnt. And Sanchez took the heat.Theres no excuse for missing Ertz over the middle, he said.Sanchez was 17 of 28 for 252 yards and two interceptions. The sub-turned-starter could return to his backup role if Week 1 starter Nick Foles is cleared to return from his broken collarbone.Kelly refused to discuss hypotheticals and Sanchez said he didnt know if hed start next week at Washington.The Eagles can still win the division if they win the final two games and the Cowboys lose one game. The Eagles would earn a wild-card berth if they win the final two games and either Green Bay, Detroit or Seattle lose two.Weve got to get to 11-5 and see if you can get in, but youre not going to get to 11-5 unless you get to 10-5 first, Kelly said.Foles was injured in the second week of the season and could be cleared to return Monday.The Eagles had plenty of blame to spread in the Dallas disaster.Bryant finished with six receptions for 114 yards. He beat Fletcher on each of the TDs.Thats my man. Ive got to make a play, Fletcher said. Hes just another receiver in the NFL who made plays today. I didnt play well for our team.The Eagles dominated the Cowboys in a 33-10 road win on Thanksgiving, but Dallas takes control of the division with ttwo weeks left.ddddddddddddDallas was up 167-0 on Philadelphia, a lopsided total that only felt like the score, but was the total yards total in the first quarter. Down 7-0 before some fans found their seats, and 21-zip minutes into the second quarter, Philadelphias game plan was going up in smoke.Chris Polk had TD runs of 1 and 5 yards and Darren Sproles ran in from the 1 to stabilize the Eagles and give them a 24-21 lead late in third quarter. But Romo and the Cowboys answered quickly with two touchdowns in a 2:51 span.Murray scored on a 2-yard run to cap a 78-yard drive. After Wilcox intercepted Sanchezs pass, the Cowboys started the fourth quarter at the Eagles 42. Romo then hit Bryant in stride for a 25-yard scoring pass.Having a guy like Dez makes it easy to throw to spots that he can go get it, Romo said. Just lucky to have him.Bryant couldnt wait for this game after being held to 73 yards on four catches in the first meeting. After that game, he called Philadelphias secondary cheap and he had a heated exchange with Malcolm Jenkins before the game. Bryant came back twice after Jenkins walked away from a pregame exchange. It wasnt known why they argued.Just great competitors going at it, thats all, Bryant said.The Eagles had won 10 straight regular-season games at home before losing to Seattle and Dallas for their first consecutive losses since Weeks 7 and 8 in 2013.The start was the opposite of the first meeting when the Eagles steamrolled the Cowboys on their way to a convincing win. The Cowboys bounced back from that loss with a win at Chicago last Thursday night and had three extra days to prepare for the rematch.The Eagles beat the Cowboys last year in a winner-take-division game at Dallas in Week 17. Romo missed that game after having back surgery.We cant think about anything long term, Kelly said. We dont worry about who does what, who does anything.
