Celta Vigo have defeated Villarreal 2-0 at El Madrigal in a La Liga game that will be remembered best for non-footballing incidents.

Giovani dos Santos forced Juan Carlos into a save early on, with the striker's left-footed effort being well stopped by the visiting keeper.

Jeremy Perbet also tried his luck with a shot from outside the opposition box, but the Frenchman also had his attempt saved by Carlos, before firing a second strike wide of goal.

Just minutes after the restart Santi Mina nearly fired Luis Enrique's side into the lead, but the Spaniard's shot from outside the area went narrowly wide of the target.

The visitors took the lead with less than 10 minutes remaining through Fabian Orellana's header, with the striker flicking Alex Lopez's free kick past Carlos.

The game was halted in the closing stages due to a smoke-filled object being thrown onto the field of play, with the referee calling both sets of players off the pitch and supporters leaving the stadium.

Play did eventually resume and Vigo extended their advantage through a Nolito free kick in the closing stages.
