After six consecutive matchdays without winning, RC Celta returned to the path of triumph with a win over Eibar in which the Galician striker Iago Aspas shone. Aspas led the attack, flanked by Emre Mor and Sofiane Boufal from the start, and the Moaña player would show again why he is the best Spanish goal scorer in the last two years. Just five minutes of the match was underway when he struck for the first time, a fantastic lob that seemed impossible to improve. It was not like that. Half an hour later, Aspas reappeared as much as spectacularly, also with a lob and from outside the area.
After the break, Brais Méndez joined the goalscorer with another one, both ‘made in’ A Madroa. Pass from Iago Aspas and shot with effect that confused the away team goalkeeper. Iago Aspas rounded off his definitive performance with his third goal in a 4-0 win, just minutes before the final assault. Nothing better than a hat-trick to celebrate the birth of his daugther and make his legend bigger in the history of RC Celta.
