Andreas Pereira scored a stunning winner as struggling Granada boosted their slim La Liga survival hopes with a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas.

The on-loan Manchester United star flicked the ball up outside the box before blasting a right-foot shot past visiting keeper Javi Varas.

The win was Granada's first in six games and moves them clear of bottom club Osasuna but still five points off safety.

Meanwhile it was a disappointing night for the visitors, who saw their hopes of reclaiming a top-10 place hit by their second league defeat in four games.
