Granada took a step towards survival by overcoming Sporting Gijon 2-0 at the Estadio Los Carmenes.

A second-half penalty by Youssef El-Arabi and an injury-time strike from Isaac Success separated the rivals in a relegation tussle that was controlled throughout by the home team.

Real Betis eased their own relegation fears with a 3-0 victory at fellow mid-table team Espanyol.
