La Liga round-up: Celta Vigo march on
Sunday 21 February 2016 07:35, UK
Celta Vigo held off an Eibar fightback to win 3-2 and move above their opponents into sixth place in La Liga.
A goal in each half from John Guidetti, either side of a Jonny effort, had the hosts in total control.
But Saul Berjon pulled one back from the spot in the 84th minute and Takashi Inui reduced the deficit further three minutes later, but Eibar could not find a dramatic leveller.
Espanyol gave their survival hopes a boost with a 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna, Marco Asensio's second-half strike giving them their first win in 2016 and lifting them four points above the drop zone.
Fellow strugglers Sporting Gijon had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw at Real Betis, for who German Pezzella equalised in the 67th minute, two minutes after Carlos Castro had put the visitors in front.
