WATCH: Celta Vigo Secure Shock 4-1 Win vs. Barcelona

Nolito and Iago Aspas sent the Balaídos crowd into delirium within a four minute span in the first half of Celta Vigo’s La Liga matchup vs. Barcelona.

Both teams entered the matchup undefeated in the league, though Barcelona were heavy favorites in the match. Nolito opened the scoring in the 26th minute with a lovely goal, intentional or not.

Aspas made it 2-0 with this lovely chip over Barcelona goalie Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the 30th minute. He would add a third early in the second half to make it 3-0 to the hosts.

Celta would go on to win the match 4-1, taking second spot in La Liga as a result.

Aspas, 28, began his career at Celta before moving on to Liverpool for a failed spell. He returned to his home club for a transfer fee of about $5 million. Nolito, 28, is a former Barcelona youth academy product.
