Their away form was, by contrast, dismal, as they lost all their first three matches on the road to Villarreal, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.Espanyol Barcelona » Fixtures & Results 2010/2011 https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/te560/rcd-espanyol/all-matches/ worldfootball.net 11 June 2021 They broke this run on 17 October as a Luis García penalty gave them a 1–0 victory over Mallorca at the Iberostar Estadi.RCD Mallorca - Espanyol Barcelona 0:1 (Primera División 2010/2011, 7.

Espanyol twice took the lead, through another García spot kick and a Joan Verdú goal, only for Atleti to equalise each time. However, Osvaldo was on target once again, scoring the winning goal twelve minutes from time.Atlético Madrid - Espanyol Barcelona 2:3 (Primera División 2010/2011, 13.

They lost 2–1 to Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés, before suffering their first home loss of the year in a 5–1 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona, although they remained an excellent 5th in the table after sixteen matches.Primera División 2010/2011 » 16.

Espanyol ended the month of January by losing 1–0 at home to Villarreal, and this began a sequence of defeats which saw them lose to Almería at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos and Real Madrid at home before a humiliating 4–0 loss to Osasuna at Reyno de Navarra. They recovered some pride at the end of February, as an own goal by Dani Estrada, followed by goals from Sergio García, José Callejón and Javi Márquez, saw them take a 4–1 home win over Real Sociedad.Espanyol Barcelona - Real Sociedad 4:1 (Primera División 2010/2011, 25.

April was even worse, as Espanyol went winless for the whole month. They lost at home to Racing Santander, and at El Molinón against Sporting de Gijón, while fixtures against Hércules at Estadio José Rico Pérez and at home to Atlético Madrid brought only their second and third draws of the campaign respectively. This form saw them drop out of the European qualification place they had occupied for most of the season, and they found themselves 8th in the table with just five matches to play.Primera División 2010/2011 » 33.

Espanyol's final match of the year saw them hosting Sevilla, and despite second half goals from Osvaldo and Verdú, they were beaten 3–2.Espanyol Barcelona - Sevilla FC 2:3 (Primera División 2010/2011, 38.

They ended the year in 8th place, seven points shy of a 2011–12 UEFA Europa League place, and only six clear of relegation in an incredibly congested table.Primera División 2010/2011 » 38.
