John Guidetti scored twice as Celta Vigo beat Cadiz 3-0 in the first leg of their Copa del Rey last-16 clash.

Third tier Cadiz had reached the last 16 following Real Madrid's expulsion for fielding an ineligible player in the previous round.

However, they have a mountain to climb to progress any further after Guidetti scored either side of Jonny Castro's goal to give Celta a 3-0 win away from home.

Elsewhere, Momo scored a stoppage-time winner as Las Palmas came from behind to snatch a 3-2 win at nine-man Eibar.

Izet Hajrovic put the home side ahead with a cool finish after 10 minutes, only for Aythami Artiles to head home a Juan Carlos Valeron free-kick six minutes later.

Eibar quickly restored their advantage through Saul Berjon but Wakaso Mubarak equalised with a powerful drive for Las Palmas and then Hajrovic and Gonzalo Escalante were given straight red cards for reckless challenges.
