Leganes relegated from La Liga as Espanyol survive

Leganes

Leganes were relegated from La Liga on Saturday despite a 3-0 win over Valladolid, as Espanyol beat Las Palmas 2-0 to survive, in their final league matches.

Javi Hernandez, Yan Diomande and Juan Cruz all scored at Butarque as the Madrid side triumphed against relegated Valladolid, but it was in vain.

Javi Puado’s 65th minute penalty and Pere Milla’s goal helped the Catalan side stay two points clear of Leganes, locked into 18th place above Las Palmas and Valladolid.

Leganes were promoted last season after relegation from the top tier in 2020, but now return to the second division.
