Real Sociedad 2 - 3 Celta Vigo: Pablo Hernandez scores late winner for Celta



Posted Sunday, November 01, 2015 by PA

Pablo Hernandez struck a superb late winner as Celta came from behind to win at Real Sociedad and move third in the Primera Division.

David Moyes' side had twice gone ahead through Imanol Agirretxe only to see Iago Aspas draw the visitors level on both occasions before Hernandez turned the game on its head with an 89th-minute winner.

The 3-2 win sees Celta leapfrog Villareal and Atletico Madrid and to within three points of both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Sociedad took the lead early on as Agirretxe headed home David Zurutuza's cross but Aspas equalised with a smart finish from inside the penalty area.

Aspas came close to putting Celta ahead moments later but his shot was well saved by Geronimo Rulli in the Sociedad goal.

And it was the hosts who went in at the break ahead as Yuri Berchiche's pass was converted by Agirretxe.

At that stage Moyes would have been hoping his side could hang on and move clear of 15th place after their slow start to the season.

But the former Everton and Manchester United boss remains under pressure as Celta hit back after the interval.

It was Aspas who once again provided Celta's route back into the game as he headed home Daniel Wass' cross just before the hour.

Mikel Gonzalez and Berchiche both missed good chances to rapidly reinstate Sociedad's lead and the game soon appeared to be heading for a draw.

That was until Hernandez flashed home a perfect half-volley - cracking his left-footed effort past Rulli in the dying stages to keep Celta's impressive start to the campaign moving forward.
