Girona registered their first win in eight LaLiga games as they beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at the Estadi Motilivi.

David Lopez put the hosts in front with a 67th-minute header and Ivan Martin then doubled the lead eight minutes later.

Martin’s fellow substitute Gorka Guruzeta pulled a goal back three minutes after that, but Girona held on for a win that sees Michel’s men rise five places up to 12th, three points clear of the relegation zone. Ernesto Valverde’s Bilbao remain sixth in the table.
