Espanyol secured a 1-0 victory over Villarreal on Saturday, ending a six-match winless streak under interim manager Sergio García.
The win at the RCDE Stadium marked García's first game in charge since taking over on an interim basis. The only goal of the match came in the first half, though the scorer was not specified in the immediate report.
Espanyol had failed to win in their previous six outings across all competitions, leaving them near the bottom of the La Liga table. The result provides a much-needed boost for the Barcelona-based side as they look to climb away from the relegation zone.
Villarreal, meanwhile, saw their own momentum halted after a strong start to the season. The defeat leaves them in mid-table.
