Girona revived their stuttering campaign with a convincing 2-0 victory over Osasuna on Saturday thanks to goals by Portu and Savinho to reclaim second spot in LaLiga.

Girona moved back to second in the standings on 62 points, one ahead of Barcelona and four behind leaders Real Madrid who have a game in hand and host relegation-threatened Celta Vigo on Sunday.

The hosts made their early dominance tell with a strike by Portu after he was set up by Ukrainian forward Viktor Tysgankov in the first half.

Girona were heading for an edgy finish after spurning several golden chances before Savinho finally put the match to bed after Aleix Garcia set up the Brazilian in the 84th minute.
