Celta Vigo and Girona have edged closer to sealing La Liga safety this season with crucial wins in Sunday’s action.
Celta cruised to a dominant 3-0 victory at home to struggling 10-man Real Valladolid, with the visitors sliding into deeper relegation danger.
Swiss international Haris Seferovic popped up to nod home his first Celta goal in the opening stages, before Gabriel Veiga added to his growing reputation, with a brace either side of the interval.

Victory was less straightforward for Girona away at Athletic Club as they survived a late storm of pressure to clinch all three points in Bilbao.
