BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Espanyol beat Getafe 1-0 in La Liga to record a third straight victory and ease its relegation fears on Friday.

On-loan center half Marash Kumbulla got the only goal near halftime.

Any hopes of a Getafe comeback were scorched on the hour mark when Nigerian defender Christantus Uche was sent off for a bad tackle.

The result came after recent wins away at Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo, and was the third clean sheet in a row for Manolo González’s men.

It lifted the Barcelona club three places into 12th spot.

Getafe was a point and a place above it.
