Levante have received a timely boost in their battle against La Liga relegation with a vital 4-1 win away at ten man Granada.
Alessio Lisci’s side still find themselves inside the relegation zone this weekend, in 19th place, but the gap to safety has now been cut to four points.
Defeat for Granada keeps them in the reckoning to be relegated as part of a five-team block in danger of dropping out of the top-flight this summer.
Levante got the ball rolling early on in Andalucia as Dani Gomez’s close range finish edged them into a 1-0 lead.
