Espanyol made light work of Levante at the RCDE Stadium, cruising to a 3-0 victory with a thoroughly dominant display. The hosts had already put the game to bed by half-time, leading 2-0 after a first half where they controlled proceedings and peppered Levante's goal with chances. Roberto Fernández was immense throughout, orchestrating play with intelligence and composure to earn the official Man of the Match rating. Levante simply couldn't get going, mustering just four shots across the entire match and failing to test the Espanyol keeper even once. The second half saw more of the same one-way traffic, with Espanyol adding a third goal to put a flattering gloss on what had already been a comprehensive win. It was the kind of performance that keeps teams in the hunt, and Espanyol will be pleased with the clean sheet and the manner in which they took their chances. For Levante, it's back to the drawing board.
