The game was tied at 1-1 when Congolese forward Cedric Bakambu buried the winning goal in injury time to hand Las Palmas another their third loss this season.
Meanwhile, Celta Vigo has been unbeaten in five of their last six matches, including a three-game winning streak, to climb to the eighth place in the league table after spending the first few weeks in the bottom half of the standings.
