Levante UD consolidated second place in UEFA Europa League Group L with a 3-0 home win against FC Twente which served as a finishing lesson for their vanquished opponents.
Juan Ignacio Martínez's team, sixth in Spain last season, took advantage of the platform given them by Míchel's 59th-minute penalty to run away with the game in the closing exchanges. With Pedro Ríos's two close-range goals finally seeing off Steve McClaren's Dutch league leaders, Twente now risk a first failure to progress from the group stage in this, their fourth campaign.
