Espanyol ended the day in ninth spot after beating Celta 1-0 in the last minute of the final match of Saturday evening, a result which takes them above their opponents in the table. The Galicians had only picked up two points in their last eight games, and had only scored once in that time, and they didn’t cause too many problems until the start of the second half, when Larrivey brought a couple of saves out of Casilla. Their hosts too hadn’t done much up to that point either though, the best a cross from Lucas Vázquez which Cabral just managed to clear, and a header over the top from Stuani, and with a quarter of an hour to go Sergio González brought on Caicedo, who had been the key man in their midweek cup victory over Valencia. That livened things up, the substitute setting up Sergio García for him to fire a shot against the post, then putting Sergio Alvarez to the test himself. And with the game coming to a close Sergio García’s header from a Lucas cross was blocked, and Caicedo was on hand to steer the rebound in to the net.
