Girona beat Real Valladolid 3-0 to end six-game winless run

David Lopez, Abel Ruiz and Arnaut Danjuma secured Girona a 3-0 LaLiga home win over relegation-threatened Real Valladolid on Friday, snapping their six-game winless run across all competitions.

The hosts dominated proceedings and took the lead just past the half-hour mark when Miguel Gutierrez's free kick deflected off Lopez and the top corner of the net.

"It's not the best goal of my career but at the end of the season it counts," Lopez said. "We have played good games at home. Today we dominated the entire match.

"We have to take it one game at a time. This gives us more peace of mind and we're satisfied."

Ruiz doubled the advantage with a close-range header from a Gutierrez cross in the 39th minute before substitute Danjuma netted a first-time effort nine minutes from time.

Girona moved up to eighth place with 25 points. Valladolid remained second-bottom on 12 points, four adrift of the safety zone.
