Espanyol lifted themselves well above the Spanish danger zone Monday with a late 2-1 home defeat of lowly Rayo Vallecano. In front of a sparse crowd in Cornella-Prat, Abraham gave Espanyol the lead in the 12th minute by turning in an intelligent centre from fellow youngster Marco Asensio. Bebe levelled for Rayo in the 67th minute with a powerful drive, only for Hernan Perez to win the game for Espanyol 10 minutes later with a spectacular volley. Espanyol had midfielder Victor Sanchez sent off four minutes from time for a second yellow card offence, but managed to play out time without too many scares. It was Espanyol's third win in four games, taking them up to 14th, five points above the relegation zone. Rayo, in contrast, have not won in four matches and are fourth bottom, level on 26 points with Granada. Sporting Gijon have 24 and bottom team Levante just 21. | |||||
