Eibar moved into the European positions in La Liga after beating Granada 5-1

Eibar moved up to sixth place in La Liga with a thumping 5-1 victory at home to Granada on Monday evening.

Winger Keko was the star of the show in the opening 45 minutes as he ran the visitors' defence ragged, and it was his cross to the far post which picked out the unmarked Takashi Inui to cushion home a left-footed volley in the 35th minute.

Three minutes later, the 24-year-old crossed for Sergi Enrich to guide a shot inside the far post and the striker could have doubled his tally from another Keko cross only to fire over.

Granada offered slightly more attacking threat after the break and pulled one back in the 65th minute when Eibar defender Mauro Alonso deflected the ball into the path of Adalberto Penaranda, who stepped aside to allow Youssef  El-Arabi to run through and score.

But any hope Granada, just one point above the relegation zone, had of a fightback was extinguished as they conceded a third just three minutes later, the first of three in an 11-minute spell to cap their capitulation.

Enrich fired home from the edge of the area from Borja Baston's pass to take his tally to eight in 13 matches before Borja himself finally got in on the act, blasting home a rebound after goalkeeper Andres Fernandez had parried Keko's angled shot.
