Diego Martnezs in-form Espanyol are flying in La Liga

With lvaro Fernndez performing well between the posts and with striker Joselu boasting the second-highest goals tally in all of LaLiga Santander, Espanyol are rising up the standings.

It has been a long time coming, but Diego Martnez's RCD Espanyol are back and they're looking to shake up the standings. After a slow start to the season under the new coach, things are finally starting to click for Los Pericos and they are in the middle of an impressive unbeaten run spanning the four matches since LaLiga Santander returned after the World Cup.

Martnez's side began the second half of the season with an impressive 1-1 draw away to FC Barcelona, the first time they had managed to pick up a point at the Spotify Camp Nou in over 13 years. They followed it up with another hard-earned draw in a Catalan derby against Girona FC.

Next, Los Pericos earned a 2-1 win at Getafe CF, their first victory at the Coliseum Alfonso Prez for 10 years, and then they had a hugely satisfying 1-0 home victory over Real Betis on Saturday, which saw them record back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
