Granada moved top of La Liga on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Real Betis that continues a magical start to the season while Sevilla and Real Sociedad joined a group of four teams just a point behind the surprise leaders.
Alvaro Vadillo's smart finish in the 61st minute was enough to give Granada a sixth win of the season and take advantage of Barcelona not playing this week to take first place, while fellow Andalusians Betis stay in the relegation zone.
The win was also their third in their last four matches, all of which have been single-goal victories.
Vadillo's strike was his second of the season after he scored the second in his side's shock 2-0 win over Barca last month.
"I'm very proud of the players, you know that we're not looking at the table, the only thing we see is 20 points," said Granada coach Diego Martinez.
"Hopefully we will win more games and we continue improving, but we are enjoying this ride and the fans are enjoying it with us."

"It felt great to score at that time and that we rounded it up with Ocampos' good goal."
