Osasuna rot continues at Espanyol

Basement club Osasuna slid further towards relegation as they crashed to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Espanyol in Sunday’s early kick-off.

Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo powerfully headed the Catalans into a 17th minute lead for only his second league goal of the campaign but spurned a great chance to double the lead ten minutes later as Salvatore Sirigu saved his spot kick, although Osasuna full-back Oier Sansurjo was dismissed for his foul.

Jurado’s strike just after the break effectively sealed the points for the Pericos before Gerard Moreno chipped home a third late on to add gloss to the scoreline.

Los Rojillos are now without a victory in 16 La Liga outings and are now six points adrift of Granada at the bottom while they are nine points from safety, Espanyol move up to 9th.
