Celta Vigo moved level on 18 points at the top of La Liga alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona after victory over 10-man Villarreal.

The visitors took the lead through Fabian Orellana's superb long-range strike, before Villarreal defender Eric Bailly received a second yellow card.

Substitute Denis Suarez levelled for the hosts with a deflected shot.

But striker Nolito reacted quickest to convert the winner after Orellana's shot came back off the crossbar.

"We are really pleased and we just have to enjoy it," said Celta defender Gustavo Cabral.

The Galician team's next fixture is against Real - and Cabral added: "We have put in a huge effort to get where we are and it should be a great match against Madrid."
