Granada is still winless after 13 rounds of competitions in the Spanish top flight this season as their points in the overall standings have all come from drawn matches.

Celta Vigo was able to zoom ahead to a 2-0 lead with two goals in the first half, courtesy of forwards Iago Aspas and Theo Bongonda in the 23rd and 39th minutes respectively.

Head coach Lucas Alcaraz's boys managed to put themselves on the board with a left-footed shot from Ukrainian striker Artem Kravets from the center of the box to the bottom left corner of Celta goalkeeper Ruben Blanco's net.

However, the hosts sealed the game with an injury-time goal by Senegalese midfielder Pape Cheikh Diop.

Meanwhile, Sevilla nipped struggling team Valencia, 2-1, in a match held at their home field of Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium last Saturday, SkySports reported.

The match had been scoreless as both sides clamped on their defenses until Valencia defender Ezequiel Garay netted an own goal in the 53rd minute off a cross by Sevilla winger Vitolo.

The visitors managed to equalize 12 minutes later with a close-range left-footed shot by forward Munir El Haddadi coming from a through ball from teammate Joao Cancelo.

Sevilla snatched away the victory and three points as Argentine center back Nicolas Pareja buried the winning goal in the 75th minute for head coach Jorge Sampaoli's side with his own left-footer following a corner kick.
