Iago Aspas leads Celta Vigo to win

An Iago Aspas brace helped Celta Vigo to a 3-1 win over Real Valladolid in La Liga this lunchtime.

Celta took an early lead through Aspas, slotting the ball into the net from the middle of the box.

The home side's lead lasted just three minutes. Valladolid were awarded a penalty when Javi Guerra was fouled by Javi Varas, who was booked for the incident, with Alberto Bueno dispatching the spot kick for the equaliser.

Celta were given a penalty of their own just before the half-hour mark, when Aspas was brought down by Mikel Balenziaga.

Aspas stepped up to take the kick, which provided his second goal of the game.

Celta's third came near the start of the second half, Alex Lopez firing in a strike from outside the penalty area.

An attacking final 30 minutes saw plenty of chances for both sides, but neither found the back of the net.

The win lifts Celta Vigo to 15th in the La Liga table, while Real Valladolid remain 11th.
