Celta Vigo closer to avoiding relegation after edging Villarreal in Spanish league
MADRID (AP) — Anastasios Douvikas scored the winning goal two minutes after coming off the bench as Celta Vigo moved closer to securing another season in the top tier with a 3-2 win over 10-man Villarreal.
The victory moved Celta eight points clear of the relegation zone with four rounds remaining in the Spanish league.
The Vigo club had parted ways with coach Rafa Benítez earlier this season because of the team’s poor results. Claudio Giráldez has been at Celta’s helm since then.
Douvikas entered the match in the 80th and scored with a header shortly after to give Celta its second win in three matches.
Gonçalo Guedes had equalized in the 65th after Iago Aspas and Jorgen Larsen scored first-half goals for Celta. Albert Moreno had put Villarreal ahead in the 12th.
The visitors played a man down from the 17th when Santiago Comesaña was sent off with a straight red card after video review.
