Aspas Penalty Lifts Celta at Alavés, Seals Third Straight Away Win

The shift to a sturdier setup produced their first league shutout of the campaign.

Overview

  • Celta beat Deportivo Alavés 1-0 at Mendizorrotza with an Iago Aspas penalty early in the second half.
  • The result delivered Celta’s third consecutive LaLiga away victory, a sequence last achieved eight years ago.
  • The visitors kept their first clean sheet of the league season under coach Claudio Giráldez.
  • After a first half without a shot on target, Celta’s higher press after the interval drew Fernando Sivera’s foul on Aspas for the decisive spot-kick.
  • Giráldez later reinforced midfield and defense to see out the win, and Celta next aim to extend the run at Ludogorets on Thursday.
