Sevilla 1 - 4 Granada CF: Granada stun Sevilla to secure Primera Division survival

Granada sealed their Primera Division status for another season by thrashing Europa League finalists Sevilla 4-1 away from home.

Isaac Cuenca put the visitors in charge at the end of the first half against a heavily-rotated Sevilla side, but debutant Diego Gonzalez pulled the home side level in the 74th minute.

The equaliser only compelled Jose Gonzalez's side into action, though, and Jean-Sylvain Babin restored their lead minutes later before Youssef El Arabi converted a penalty and Cuenca grabbed another.

Granada are guaranteed another season in the top flight after getting promoted in 2011, sitting 16th in the table, three points ahead of Getafe and Sporting Gijon and with a superior head-to-head record.

Unai Emery made a score of changes to his starting line-up after beating Shakhtar Dontesk 3-1 on Thursday to reach the Europa League final against Liverpool.

Sevilla made a strong start, however, and were only denied the lead midway through the first half when Ricardo Costa cleared Juan Munoz's shot off the line.

Cuenca put Granada ahead on the stroke of half-time, chesting down a cross from El Arabi and beating goalkeeper Beto.

Sevilla kept pushing for a goal and found an equaliser with 16 minutes remaining as substitute Gonzalez back-heeled a loose ball from a free-kick in from close range, scoring with his first touch in the Primera Division.

But Babin headed Granada in front again to put them on the path to safety, and El Arabi and Cuenca's goals meant they finished the game in jubilation rather than nerves.
