Villarreal CF picked up all three points on matchday 26 of the Liga BBVA after defeating RC Celta 4-1. Giovani Dos Santos hit his first league goal of the season, with Mateo Musacchio, Luciano Vietto and Gerard Moreno rounding off the scoring.

El Madrigal saw a duel between two intense, compact sides in the first half. It was only in the final stages of the opening 45 that Villarreal tipped the balance in their favour with two moves that brought goals from Dos Santos and Musacchio. The Mexican broke the deadlock after individual play, before minutes later the Argentine sent a superb header into the back of the net.

After the break the game swung back the way of the visitors, as shortly after the restart Augusto Fernández reduced the deficit for a Galician outfit that came back out with greater intensity than Marcelino García Toral’s men. However, as the minutes passed los amarillos regained the ascendancy and stretched their lead, efforts from Vietto and Gerard bringing up a 4-1 final scoreline.
