Joaquin Larrivey stars as Celta Vigo move up to sixth

Celta Vigo moved into the top six of La Liga this evening with a 3-0 win over Levante.

Joaquin Larrivey scored twice for the home side before Alex Lopez put the gloss on the result in stoppage time.

The 30-year-old Larrivey grabbed his first of the evening when he got on the end of Pablo Hernandez's through-ball before calmly converting.

Hernandez then went close after good work from Nolito before Larrivey fired over shortly before the break.

Andreas Ivanschitz and Papa Diop tried to get their side back on level terms with two quick-fire attempts in the second period, but it was Larrivey who had the ball in the net again, five minutes from time.

The striker doubled the advantage with a close-range header to seal the points for his side before Lopez added a third late on.
