Thomas cushioning a low volley into the bottom corner from 22

with Daniel Wass' first-half goal sealing a 4-1 aggregate victory.

to make it 2-0 and seal a 4-3 aggregate win.
Granada completed a night of home wins with clean sheets in
the Copa del Rey, with Youssef El-Arabi scoring the only goal of
