La Liga round-up: Malaga see off David Moyes' Sociedad

A hat-trick from Brazilian striker Charles saw Malaga defy the second-half dismissal of Fernando Tissone to beat David Moyes' Real Sociedad 3-1 and get off the winning mark this season.

In a frantic opening spell, the home side were two goals ahead after just seven minutes thanks to Charles' right boot, but the deficit was halved after 14 minutes by Imanol Agirretxe's header.

A second yellow card for Tissone in the 72nd minute then paved the way for a Sociedad comeback, but instead it was Malaga who rallied and Charles completed his hat-trick with another right-footed strike a minute from time.

A second-half equaliser from Piti rescued a point for Granada and denied Deportivo La Coruna a third straight league win.

The forward's 65th-minute strike cancelled out Fayal Fayr's goal midway through the first half to give the Andalusians their first point in five matches, lifting them off the foot of the table for 24 hours at least.

A last-gasp winner from Alex Menendez saw Sporting Gijon beat Espanyol 2-1 and pick up their second win of the season.

The winger restored the visitors' lead in stoppage time after Felipe Caicedo had cancelled out Alen Halilovic's first-half wonder-goal, taking Sporting up to 10th place in the table, just one point behind the Catalans.

Eibar claimed their first league win since August 30 with a 2-0 result at Las Palmas.

Saul Berjon needed just seven minutes to give Eibar the lead and Borja Baston made sure of the points after 62 minutes with a shot into the bottom left corner.
