ESPN: "Levante climb up to third"

Levante continued their dream start to the season with a 3-1 victory over Espanyol to move up to third in the Primera Division.

Ruben Suarez gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot on 14 minutes after Rui Fonte had felled Juanlu in the box and repeated the trick from another spot-kick early in the second half when he was brought down by Jordi Amat, the defender seeing red for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Despite being down to 10 men Espanyol responded as Hector Moreno turned in Walter Pandiani's scuffed shot.

However, Jose Barkero sealed the points with a stunning left-footed effort 15 minutes from time before Espanyol's misery was completed with a second red card, this time for Pandiani as he barged Nano in an off-the-ball incident.
