Charles brace gives Celta Vigo comeback win over Valencia

A second-half brace from Charles has given Celta Vigo a 2-1 comeback victory over Valencia in La Liga.

Vigo threatened early on in the game as Augusto Fernandez got a shot away towards the bottom corner, but it was kept out by the Valencia goalkeeper.

Sergio Canales hit back for the visitors as he swung in a ball for Jonas, who could only head it wide of goal.

Daniel Parejo gave Valencia the lead in the 23rd minute when he tucked home a header into the bottom corner after being found by a cross from Sofiane Feghouli.

It looked as if Valencia would ride out the game in comfort, although Charles had other ideas as he grabbed an equaliser with a neat finish in the 50th minute.

With just over 10 minutes to go, both sets of fans thought that the game was headed for a draw. However, up popped Charles again to grab his second of the night with a powerful strike from outside the box, leaving Vigo with a 2-1 victory.
