MADRID -- Levante scored two late goals on Monday to seal a 2-1 league win over fellow strugglers Granada in a heated encounter that saw three players sent-off.

The tempestuous encounter saw Granada pair Adrian Colunga red carded in the 72nd before scorer El-Arabi and Levante's Ivan Ramis were both dismissed in the 79th.
Camarasa atoned in the 88th with the equalizer following a disastrous clearance from Granada goalkeeper Oier lazabal.
Forward David Barral scored the winner in the fourth-minute of second-half stoppage time to lift the hosts to within one point of safety.
Levante rises to 18th place on 22 points while Granada drops to 19th on 19 points.
