MADRID: The evergreen Iago Aspas scored in either half to give Celta Vigo a 2-1 win at home to Valencia in La Liga on Saturday.
The 33-year-old striker first nipped in to beat the offside trap and meet a pass from Nolito before rounding Valencia keeper Jaume Domenech to score in the 13th minute, the goal being ruled out at first for offside until a VAR review.
Former Celta forward Maxi Gomez equalised for the visitors early in the second half with a powerful header but captain Aspas soon restored his side's advantage, smashing into the top corner with a free kick.
Aspas, who has spent the majority of his career at Celta save for brief and forgettable seasons with Liverpool and Sevilla, has been the top-scoring Spaniard in La Liga for three of the last four campaigns.
Unai Emery earned his first win as Villarreal coach after his side came from behind to beat Eibar 2-1 at home. After being held to a disappointing draw with promoted Huesca last week, Villarreal again fell behind at home to humble opposition when Kike put Eibar ahead five minutes into the second half. Emery sprung a double substitution shortly afterwards and the changes paid dividends as Gerard Moreno levelled in the 63rd minute and then played in Paco Alcacer, who rounded the goalkeeper to tap in from a tight angle in the 71st minute.
