Late Theo Bongonda strike gives Celta Vigo a draw with 10-man Granada

Theo Bongonda's stoppage-time goal gave Celta Vigo a 1-1 draw with 10-man Granada in La Liga on Wednesday evening.

Roberto Ibanez gave the home side the lead after just three minutes when he fired high into the roof of the net from close range, and his strike looked to have taken the strugglers to within a point of safety.

However, Bongonda struck for the visitors late on to leave Granada 19th in Spain's top division, five points above rock-bottom Cordoba.

Santi Mina wasted a good chance for Celta to restore parity on 11 minutes when he fired high over the bar after a slick counter-attack saw them through on goal.

The home side were forced to play the second half with 10 men when Jeison Murilo picked up his second booking three minutes before the break.

After the restart, Mina went close for Celta when he connected with Nolito's cross only to see his header saved, and the pair combined again on 70 minutes but the young striker's effort was again off target.

With Granada looking set for an important win after their 9-1 hammering by Real Madrid last time out, Bongonda fired low into the corner to give Celta a point that leaves them 11th.
