Las Palmas 4-0 Espanyol: Goal friendly Los Amarillos thrash struggling Periquitos

An excellent second half display secured three points for Las Palmas, who overcame Espanyol 4-0 at Estadio Gran Canaria.

Nabil El Zhar netted the opener on the brink of half-time, before Jonathan Viera, Pedro Bigas and Wakaso Mubarak each bagged one for themselves in a brilliant performance in the second period.

Hernan Perez came close to scoring a consolation for the visitors in the 89th minute, but Periquitos never really threatened to take anything from the game.

Espanyol remain just five points clear of the bottom three, and they are still wary of the fear of relegation, with more performances like this likely to send them down.

Las Palmas have moved up to eighth place, only one point off the Europa League qualification places.
