Celta goes joint top after win at 10-man Villarreal
Print Edition
Celta Vigo forward Manuel “Nolito” Agudo scored in the 90th minute to snatch a 2-1 win at 10-man Villarreal and pull the visitors level with Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of the Spanish league yesterday.
Nolito and midfielder Fabian Orellana kept Celta unbeaten through eight rounds as both scored at El Madrigal Stadium.
Nolito netted the winner from the rebound of a curling strike by Orellana that came off the post to tally his sixth goal of the season. Only Barcelona’s Neymar with eight has more, with Nolito’s six matching Real stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Celta’s win left Real as leader on goal difference after its 3-0 victory over Levante on Saturday. Celta is second, followed by Barcelona in third after its 5-2 rout of Rayo Vallecano also on Saturday.
Villarreal, which entered the round in first place, slipped to fourth at two points back.
