Álvaro Morata finally broke the deadlock early in the second half at Los Cármenes by meeting Antoine Griezmann’s cross from the right with a downward header.

A would-be second goal for the Colchoneros arrived in near-identical fashion but Saúl Ñíguez was adjudged to be in an offside position after a VAR review.

But the visitors were indebted to late heroics from Jan Oblak and Mario Hermoso to prevent Granada snatching a stoppage-time equaliser.
