A 0-1 victory for Celta at Sevilla in the last game on Saturday evening, a result which takes the Galicians to within a point of their hosts in the table. Curiously the two matches that Luis Enrique's side have won this season were both in Andalucía, and once again they started well, Beto having to save from Charles and Santi Mina going close a couple of times. Bacca and Augusto Fernández both had penalty appeals turned down, but two minutes after the restart a distracted Beto passed the ball straight to Alex López, who gratefully fired it back in to the net. After that the locals pushed forward, M'Bia heading a corner against the post and Vitolo and Gameiro also having penalty claims refused, but the visitors held on for three important points which takes them clear of the danger zone. Another blow for Unai Emery though, and with the home fans booing their players off the pitch, the coach needs to pull things together quickly if he is to stay in his job much longer.
