[Folami David]

Getafe eased past 10-man Granada 2-0 on Sunday to match a club record with a fourth consecutive win that kept the Madrid side close to the top four in the Spanish league.
.
Rayo Vallecano and Elche also had players dismissed but both earned victories away from home, while Sevilla conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes to slip to a 2-2 draw at Valladolid.
.
Visiting Getafe were helped by a disastrous day for Granada's centre backs, with one being sent off early and the other opening the scoring with an own goal.
.
Pape Diakhate received his second yellow card in the 31st minute and defensive partner Jeison Murillo knocked Pedro Leon's cross into Granada's goal two minutes after halftime.
.
Leon sealed the result for Getafe in the 55th with a first-touch strike from the edge of the area.
.
"Not long ago we were in second-to-last place and now we have won five of our last six games, that's a tremendous run in the first division," said Getafe coach Luis Garcia. "I'm very happy for my players and our fans. They should enjoy this, but stay humble and keep working."
