Victor Laguardia scored a 90th-minute winner as Alaves handed Levante a fourth successive defeat.

Levante, sitting just outside the relegation zone, played with 10 men from the 29th minute after defender Chema was sent off for a foul that handed the hosts a penalty kick, which was missed by midfielder Manu Garcia.

Alaves forward Munir El Haddadi was red-carded for a second booking in the 77th to level up the sides, but it was the hosts that went on to grab all three points thanks to Laguardia's last-gasp strike.

Victory sees Alaves move up to 14th place, while Levante stay 17th.
