Friday Recap
Levante claimed only their fifth La Liga win of the campaign on Friday night after beating Getafe in convincing fashion.
Rossi was a constant menace for the hosts, and the Italy international could yet be the spark which sees Levante preserve their Primera Division status this term.
The City of Valencia Stadium crowd were celebrating after just 10 minutes, as the Frogs grabbed the lead through winger Jose Luis Morales.
The 28-year-old was assisted by the effervescent Rossi, finding the bottom corner with his shot. The Madrid-born attacker made no mistake to give the hosts an early advantage.
Deyverson almost doubled Levante's lead minutes later but was caught offside as the Frogs piled forward, feeding off fresh confidence.
Getafe went close as Pablo Sarabia saw his shot saved, but the visitors offered little threat throughout the first half.
Rossi was rewarded for his hard work and dangerous display two minutes before half-time from the penalty spot after Morales was brought down.
The striker coolly dispatched the spot kick with his left foot to make it 2-0 at the break.
Yahoo's Andrew Gaffney tipped his hat toward the brilliance of Rossi:
Levante remained in control during the second half despite Pedro Leon almost striking back for the Deep Blues, narrowly missing the target.
Striker Alvaro Vazquez also went close with a header, but the hosts' goal area appeared to have a charmed life.
The Frogs wrapped up the points nine minutes from time, as midfielder Joan Verdu scored his side's third of the night.
Morales was once again involved and assisted the former Barcelona player for the winner.
Levante are now only two points for safety, and the loan acquisition of Rossi might be the signing of the January window if he continues to power his side up the table.
Rossi previously thrived in La Liga with Villarreal, where he was a regular goalscorer, and life in Spain certainly agrees with the 29-year-old.
