La Liga Review: Granada crush Levante, Getafe win as relegation battle heats up

Levante edged closer to relegation as the race for La Liga survival heated up on Thursday.

Rubi's bottom-placed side were crushed 5-1 by 17th-placed Granada, leaving them five points off safety with just four games to play.

Granada powered to a 3-0 lead in the first half as Levante's night got off to a nightmare start.

Ruben Rochina made it 3-0 before half-time and Levante's Ruben Garcia pulled one back in the 82nd minute to kick off a glut of goals as El-Arabi sealed his hat-trick late on.
