La Liga News: 21 February 2016: Espanyol and Celta Pick Up Wins, Simeone Focused On Villarreal

Celta Vigo held off an Eibar fightback to win 3-2 and move above their opponents into sixth place in La Liga. A goal in each half from John Guidetti, either side of a Jonny effort, had the hosts in total control. But Saul Berjon pulled one back from the spot in the 84th minute and Takashi Inui reduced the deficit further three minutes later, but Eibar could not find a dramatic leveller.

Marco Asensio's second-half strike gave Espanyol a vital 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna as they tasted victory for the first time in 2016.
