La Liga roundup: Misery continues for Tony Adams at Granada

Tony Adams' Granada were beaten by Osasuna

Osasuna won the battle of the basement clubs with a 2-1 win over Granada, while Jose Gaya's second-half goal gave Valencia a 1-0 away win at Espanyol.

For several weeks both teams have had nothing but pride to play for, hovering around mid-table, and Saturday's fixture had a real end-of-season feel about it.

A game of little goalmouth action and few chances was settled after 75 minutes when 21-year-old defender Gaya scored with a left-foot shot from the left side of the penalty area.

Espanyol could not muster a response and slipped to a third straight home loss, following defeats to city rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, while Valencia secured back-to-back wins.

Elsewhere, Osasuna beat fellow strugglers Granada. Jhon Steven Mondragon handed the home side the lead after 24 minutes, before Gustavo Ramos fired an unlikely equaliser for Tony Adams' men four minutes before the break.

Kenan Kodro then slotted home from close range 15 minutes from time to record a morale-boosting win and condemn Adams to yet another defeat in charge of El Grana.
