Sevilla thrashed Elche 3-0 to climb to 13th, their third victory in four league games seeing them move provisionally four points clear of the relegation zone.
Youssef En-Nesyri netted a brace either side of Marcos Acuna's drive in a first half blitz. The Morocco international has returned to good form after his good performances at the World Cup in Qatar.
Winless Elche, who had Pedro Bigas sent off in the 41st minute, are bottom of the table and 11 points from safety. They will have a lot of trouble getting out of the relegation zone.
Earlier Cadiz climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Real Mallorca.
