Athletic Bilbao move up to 13th in the La Liga table with victory over Celta Vigo.

Athletic Bilbao beat Celta Vigo by a single goal tonight in a game that saw few chances for either side.

Celta Vigo looked threatening in the opening minutes but the home side soon got in to the game and dominated early possession.

The visitors could have had a penalty after Fernando Amorebieta appeared to handle the ball in the area, but the referee waved away Bilbao's appeals.

Bilbao broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute when Aritz Aduriz headed the ball past Javi Varas.

Bilbao had several chances for a second before half-time, but Varas prevented them extending their lead.

Both sides showed more intent after the break as Bilbao looked to secure the win, and Celta searched for an equaliser.

Despite the increase in tempo, there were few attempts on goal, and the game finished 1-0.

The win moves Bilbao up to 13th, while Celta Vigo are 15th, just three points above the relegation places.
