La Liga: Iago Aspas secures Celta Vigo win over Deportivo La Coruna

Iago Aspas scored twice as Celta Vigo beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 in a Galician derby in La Liga on Sunday.

The game was delicately poised 1-1 at half-time with Raul Albentosa's first Deportivo goal quickly cancelling out Hugo Mallo's powerful strike.

But Celta took control in a fiery contest of eight bookings after Aspas had dispatched a controversial penalty on the hour.

Sidnei was harshly adjudged to have handled Daniel Wass' header. The ball rebounded off Sidnei's thigh and on to his arm, but Aspas made no mistake as he converted the penalty off a post.

Fabian Orellana's header gave Celta a two-goal cushion before Aspas added to Deportivo's misery seven minutes from time.

Villarreal continued their positive start to the season as Cedric Bakambu's stoppage-time goal completed a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Las Palmas at El Madrigal.

Fran Escriba's men fell behind to a world-class strike from Kevin-Prince Boateng in the first half but equalised in the 64th minute with a Nicola Sansone penalty.

A draw would arguably have been the correct result but the Yellow Submarine plundered all three points as Bakambu showed strength to nudge the ball to Roberto Soriano, who slotted a pass back to the Congolese forward and he made no mistake with a calm finish.

Malaga claimed a convincing 4-0 victory over Leganes at La Rosaleda to leapfrog their opponents in La Liga.

The visitors from the Madrid suburbs made a promising start but two quickfire goals just before half-time, the first a Jony penalty and the second a counter-attack finished by Chory Castro, left them with an awful lot to do.

Sandro Ramirez scored the third in the 58th minute and Ignacio Camacho's header rounded off the scoring in injury time.
