Goals from Isaac Success and Adalberto Penaranda gave Granada only a fourth league victory of the season and a winning start to 2016 after ending the previous year with back-to-back defeats.

Vitolo pulled a goal back for the visitors in first-half stoppage time but Sevilla, who had Adil Rami sent off late on, could not salvage their eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

Fellow Seville side, Real Betis also lost on Sunday, falling 4-0 at Eibar who moved into eighth.

Ander Capa’s deflected effort within two minutes of kick-off got the Basque side off to a dream start and Keko’s volley on 18 minutes consolidated their lead, before Adrian Gonzalez and Borja Baston completed the rout in the second half with a stunning strike.

Las Palmas twice fought back to earn a 2-2 draw at Athletic Bilbao in their survival battle.

The Basques took the lead through Aritz Aduriz’s 16th minute penalty but Las Palmas hit back just after the hour mark through Vicente Gomez, only for Inaki Williams to restore the hosts’ advantage.

But Tana pounced on a slip by Oscar de Marcos with eight minutes to go to peg them back again.
