Nolito makes his team unrivalled

Orellana plays in between lines
The Chilean player used one of his best qualities: his capacity to move in the half forward area. From there, and with the time the yellow defenders gave him to think, he managed with a chip to the 0-1 on the score.

Maximum equality
In spite of the blue squad advancing in the score and of its control over the match, the fight was balanced and Villarreal showed its usual solidity defending. Thus bringing down some of the visiting squad’s opportunities for the second goal that would have settled the match.

Baily sent off the pitch
After a tackle in the first half and hand ball in the second, the centre defender from Ivory Coast was sent off in the 47 minute, leaving it’s team outnumbered for the whole of the second half.

Marcelino García Toral
The manager from Asturias was forced to modify the whole team and restructure the lines due to Bailly being sent off. Rukavina went in the full back positionand Denis Suarez replaced Léo Baptisao, and that changed the face of the match until then dominated by Berizzo’s men. With Denis coming in, Villarreal managed to draw the match with a shoot that took Sergio Álvarez by surprise.

Nolito
If there is crucial player for Celta, that is Nolito. The Sanlúcar de Barrameda player scored in the last minute to keep his team undefeated in the eight matchdays of Liga BBVA.
