Espanyol ended what has been a mediocre season with a victory after they beat Eibar 4-2 on Sunday evening. Gerard Moreno ran on to a Víctor Sánchez through ball to round the keeper for the first with just under a quarter of an hour gone, and although Pau López had to save from Keko soon afterwards, Marco Asensio got on the end of a Moreno cross to slide in the second before the break. A few minutes in to the second half Borja Bastón got one back from the penalty spot after Enzo Roco brought down Keko in the area, but Asensio restored the two goal cushion with an individualist effort before setting up Moreno for a fourth. Pau López did have to save from Escalante late on, and from the resulting corner Borja headed back Keko’s cross for Sergi Enrich to head home a second for the visitors, but there was no time for the Basque side to change the result.
