Celta Vigo claimed victory in La Liga on Friday night thanks to the inspirational Iago Aspas, while Villarreal pulled off a last-gasp win against Sevilla.
Celta de Vigo 3-1 Valencia
Celta Vigo start this weekend as leaders of La Liga with the maximum points won in their first two games of the campaign.
However, the home side did not do things their way at first, and Óscar Mingueza cancelled out Diego López’s first game for Valencia.
Captain Aspas scored several consecutive Fridays by putting the home side ahead before the break in Galicia.

Aspas had the best chance to end the game in first-half stoppage time, but the veteran forward denied him from the penalty spot.
That setback disappeared after the restart when Fran Beltran scored an impressive game-winner with his first goal since April 2022.

Sevilla 1-2 Villarreal
There was drama in the last game on Friday, when Villarreal took the three points away to Sevilla.
The three goals of the night were split into an entertaining clash in Andalusia when Arnaut Danjuma took the lead in the first 90 seconds.

Sevilla were denied an equaliser via VAR shortly after, before striker Dodi Lukebakio finally equalised 1-1 just before the break.
This perfectly prepared the contest for a real open war in the next forty-five seconds, when Sevilla gave everything for the victory in front of their own fans and the VAR denied Villargenuine.
In the end, however, the opposing side had the last word, as summer signing Ayoze Perez took advantage of a loose ball in stoppage time to score his first goal since taking over to the Yellow Submarine.
