Nigerian forward Kalu Uche netted his first goal for Levante who moved off the foot of the Primera Division with a shock 4-1 win against Malaga on Saturday.
David Barral fired a hat-trick as the Valencia-based side ended their nine game win-less streak in emphatic fashion, two of which came from the penalty spot.
Juanmi had given Malaga the lead but that was as good as it got for Javi Gracia’s men who are now six points adrift of a European spot.
Uche who was making his second appearance for the club forced a stunning save from Carlos Kameni in the 57th minute.
