Girona will head into the November international break as La Liga leaders after winning away at Rayo Vallecano.
Real Sociedad also returned to winning ways, at Almeria, in Saturday’s action, to move up to sixth.
Rayo Vallecano 1 Girona 2
Rayo enjoyed a superb start in Vallecas as Alvaro Garcia pounced on a Girona defensive error to fire the hosts in front.
However, Girona showed their calmness under pressure in the Spanish capital, as Artem Dovbyk curled home an equaliser, just before the break.
Rayo were frustrated after the restart, as the home side hit the woodwork twice in quick succession, before Savio reacted quickest inside the box, to stab home winner, after Dovbyk’s strike was saved.
Sávio scores for Girona! ⚽

Osasuna 1 Las Palmas 1
Osasuna were forced to settle for a draw at home to Las Palmas as both sides netted late on in Pamplona.
Las Palmas goal keeper Alvaro Valles produced a pair of incredible saves, either side of the interval, to keep the scores level.
Alberto Moleiro curled home a brilliant strike to put Las Palmas in front, against the run of play, but Ante Budimir quickly popped up to head home a deserved leveller for Osasuna.
What a hit! 😱
