Celta Vigo held on to fourth spot in the Primera Division with a 2-0 victory over struggling Granada.
Fabian Orellana put Celta ahead with 21 minutes gone and Iago Aspas' goal just before half-time clinched the points.
It was Celta's third victory in a row and kept them a point ahead of Villarreal.
The hosts had the better of the opening exchanges, with Adalberto Penaranda, Cristiano Biraghi and Ruben Rochina all having a sight of goal.
But it was Celta Vigo that opened the scoring in the 21st minute when Josep Sene played in Orellana, who tucked the ball in from close range.
Orellana then shot over, while Theo Bongonda had two efforts blocked as Celta pushed for a second.
Chances for Granada were few and far between, with Success Isaac blasting high and wide from a rare shot.
And they were dealt a sucker punch on the stroke of half-time when Aspas doubled Celta's lead from close range after being set up by Jonny.
Four minutes into the second half Cristiano Biraghi shot just over from a free-kick for Granada, while at the other end Aspas was also narrowly off target.
Granada kept pushing to get back into the game and David Lomban headed wide from Javi Marquez's cross before Marquez saw his shot blocked.
Success then shot wide, while at the other end Sene was denied by Andres Fernandez.
Robert Ibanez and Youssef El-Arabi both had late chances for Granada, but they could not deny Celta a clean sheet.
