Elche strike late to snatch draw at Celta Vigo

A David Lomban penalty two minutes from time has helped Elche to a 1-1 draw away at Celta Vigo in this evening's La Liga clash at the Balaidos.

The hosts were quickest off the starting blocks as Fabian Orellana sent a promising cross into the box, but Charles was unable to direct his header on target.

Celta's Chilean winger continued to cause trouble, launching forward moments later before cutting inside and blasting a shot towards goal that Przemyslaw Tyton was able to hold on to.

Elche were able to regroup as the first half went on and gave their opponents food for thought as Adrian and Faycal Fajr came close.

Celta were a different proposition after the restart and went on to take the lead on the hour, Jonny cutting back to Michael Krohn-Delhi, who picked out the bottom corner with a smart finish.

Just when it seemed like the hosts would hang on to the win, Victor Rodriguez was brought down by Krohn-Delhi in the Celta box, prompting the referee to award Elche a penalty.

Lomban stepped up to take the spot kick and duly sent Sergio Alvarez the wrong way to give the visitors a point right at the death.
