In a first half of few chances, Celta Vigo took advantage of their sole early opening, as Hugo Alvarez cannoned home a superb opener.

Mallorca rallied strongly before the break with Celta Vigo goal keeper Vicente Guaita pulling off two key saves.

With the contest evenly poised heading into the closing stages, it was Celta Vigo again who showed their killer instinct, as captain Iago Aspas settled the game.

After Antonio Raillo’s red card, Aspas showed his coolness under pressure to slot home from close range, and condemn Mallorca to a second defeat in four days.

Up next for Celta Vigo is a trip to Sevilla next weekend with Mallorca hosting Girona in Palma.
