Malaga put further distance between themselves and the La Liga relegation zone with a 2-1 victory over Las Palmas.

The home side were then forced to hold on with 10 men for the last 20 minutes after Jose Rodriguez picked up a second yellow card.
Victory means Malaga are now 13th in the table, 10 points clear of the bottom three and just two behind Las Palmas in 12th.
