Another win and clean sheet for Espanyol eases La Liga relegation fears
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Espanyol beat Getafe 1-0 in La Liga to record a third straight victory and ease its relegation fears on Friday. On-loan center half Marash Kumbulla got the only goal near halftime. Any hopes of a Getafe comeback were scorched on the hour mark when Nigerian defender Christantus Uche was sent off for a bad tackle. The result came after recent wins away at Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo, and was the third clean sheet in a row for Manolo González's men. It lifted the Barcelona club three places into 12th spot. Getafe was a point and a place above it. ___ AP soccer:

Kumbulla describes life under Jose Mourinho
Roma loanee Marash Kumbulla – currently playing for Espanyol in La Liga – recounted his years in the Italian capital under Jose Mourinho. 'I feel very good in Spain, I integrated very quickly with my teammates and with the whole club here at Espanyol, as well as in a new league for me like the Spanish one,' the Albanian defender told Sportitalia. 'I didn't expect to start so well straight away given that it's the first time I've gone to live far from Italy. Spain is very close to Italy in terms of culture and habits, but I was afraid I might have some difficulty settling in at the beginning.' 'It wasn't like that and I'm happy about that. I thank my teammates and the coach who made me feel at home straight away.' 'My happiest memory at Roma? Obviously the victory of the Conference League in Tirana. It was the culmination of a beautiful journey where we suffered and rejoiced together. In the home games in Europe there was real chaos at the Olimpico.' 'I remember the day we celebrated the Conference League title very well. It was my first trophy won and for now the only one. Seeing the whole city celebrating, going around on an open bus through the streets of Rome and in front of the Colosseum… These are the images that pass through my mind that still excite me today.' 'Mourinho? I can say that everything he says has a weight. He improves you from all points of view and looks for the detail. As far as I'm concerned he made me grow a lot from the point of view of maturity, character and knowing how to pay attention to details that I didn't care about before.'
