Espanyol stunned by Alaves comeback victory in La Liga
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) --- Espanyol was stunned by visiting Alaves 2-1 to extend
its run of winless games to five in La Liga on Friday.
Lucas Boy finished from close range a counterattack to complete a comeback by
the visitor.
Roberto Fernandez headed in the opening goal for Espanyol and Alaves captain
Antonio Blanco equalized with a deflected left-foot shot from outside the area.
Espanyol was fifth but the loss was a blow for its European hopes with Real
Betis and Celta Vigo trailing by two points.
Alaves was previously just a point outside the relegation zone and has jumped
to 10th in the table.
