Celta Vigo's three-game winning run was snapped during their most recent match as they fell to contending squad Villarreal, 0-5, on the road at the Estadio El Madrigal on Sunday, as per SB Nation.
Head coach Eduardo Berizzo's squad was trying to extend their winning streak to four games, but the team was no match for an inspired El Submarino Amarillo XI led by Italian midfielder Roberto Soriano, who opened the game with two straight goals in the eighth and 12th minutes.
Congolese striker Cedric Bakambu then made it a 3-0 count in the 38th minute as he buried a right-footer with the assist coming from teammate Nicola Sansone.
Danish winger netted an own goal three minutes into the second half off a corner kick to further increase their opponents' lead to four goals.
Things got worse for Os Célticos when defender Sergi Gomez was sent off in the 87th, indicating that it would take a miracle to come back and win the game.
Spanish midfielder Manu Trigueros sealed the five-goal haul in injury time to hand the Sky Blues their fourth defeat this season.

Brazilian attacking midfielder Rafinha netted two straight goals in the 21st and 36th minutes to open the scoring for the hosts. Uruguayan forward Luis Suárez then added to the lead with two minutes left before the halftime break.
