Aspas’ double puts Celta Vigo 3-0 up over Cadiz in La Liga

VIGO: Iago Aspas shone with a powerful brace as Celta Vigo swept Cadiz to secure its second consecutive win in La Liga in the opening game of matchday four of the season. 

The home side made a promising start but failed to take a lead before halftime with winger Oscar Rodriguez missing an opportunity.

Aspas then opened the scoring in the 56th minute with a powerful shot from outside the box which landed in the nets beating the Cadiz goalkeeper Ledesma.

The breakthrough opened the floodgates for Celta in the latter stages of the game as Rodriguez doubled the lead just after six minutes.

Aspas then unleashed another strong hit from outside the box to make it 3-0 for Celta in the 75th minute.

Celta will now travel to Madrid for an away game against Atletico next weekend while Cadiz will play Barcelona in a home game in Andalucia.
