In one of the most thrilling matches of the season so far, Villarreal triumphed over Celta Vigo with a stunning counterattack that saw them score the only goal of the game.
The match was played at the Estadio de la Cerámica and was watched by a packed crowd of fans who were on their feet throughout the entire game. Both teams started well, but it was Villarreal who took control early on. They created numerous opportunities to score, but they were unable to convert any of them.
However, in the second half, things changed completely. Celta Vigo began to press hard and create some good chances of their own. But it was Villarreal who came up with the breakthrough. A counterattack was set up and the ball was played wide to a waiting striker. He took a touch and then shot past the goalkeeper with ease.
The goal was scored just before halftime and from that moment on, Villarreal looked like they had the game under control. They continued to create chances and eventually wrapped up the win with another goal in added time.
The victory was a huge boost for Villarreal's title hopes as they now sit third in the league table. However, they will be aware that there is still plenty of work to do if they want to compete with the top teams for the title. Celta Vigo will be hoping to bounce back from this defeat and get back to winning ways against Espanyol next week.
