Getafe beat Celta Vigo 3-1 to move up to fifth in La Liga, one point behind Sevilla.

Getafe conceded two minutes into the match but rebounded despite playing with 10 men from the 37th minute because of a red card to forward Maxi Gomez.

All three Getafe goals came after the red card, with Jaime Mata scoring twice and Jorge Molina also netting.

Espanyol beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 thanks to a winner by Sergi Darder five minutes into stoppage time, ending a four-game winless streak in the league.

The result kept Rayo in the relegation zone, one point from safety.
