Jeremias Ledesma - Struggles in loss Jeremias Ledesma had seven saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-1 loss versus Rayo Vallecano.

The 37-year-old veteran was on a fair run of games with only three goals allowed in his previous four matches, compared to the start of the season where he conceded 14 in the first five contests.
