Borja Baston, Berjon Perez Saul give Eibar away win at Las Palmas

Baston, Saul give Eibar away win

Borja Baston and Berjon Perez Saul have helped Eibar earn three points away from home, as they beat Las Palmas 2-0 at the Estadio de Gran Canaria.

The visitors began the game on top as they took an early lead through Saul, who managed to tap his shot in from close range, after connecting with David Junca's cross.

Las Palmas pushed for an equaliser as the first half was coming to a close, and Roque Mesa Quevedo had two chances in quick succession to make it 1-1, but both of his efforts were saved easily by Asier Riesgo in the Eibar net.

However, not long after the restart Eibar doubled their lead, as Baston raced into Las Palmas's box and neatly finished past Javier Varas Herrera, effectively putting the game to bed.

Sergio Araujo managed to put the ball in the back of the net for the home side and looked like it would spur on a late comeback, but the strike was ruled out for offside with the replays showing it was the correct decision.

The home side pushed and pressured to get a goal back but left it too late as Eibar ran out 2-0 winners.

The result puts Eibar seventh in La Liga, while Las Palmas sit just above the relegation zone in 17th.
