(Reuters) - Girona manager Michel praised Paulo Gazzaniga after the goalkeeper's extraordinary display kept his side alive in their chaotic 2-1 home win over Athletic Bilbao in LaLiga on Sunday, but said his team still had plenty of work to do.

The 32-year-old Argentine saved two penalties, including one that had to be retaken, before Girona's Uruguayan striker Cristhian Stuani scored from the spot himself in the 99th minute to seal all three points.
