Celta Vigo secure 2-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga

Madrid: Celta Vigo goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez saved an 89th-minute penalty to secure a 2-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna, keeping his team undefeated and level on points with Madrid.

Manuel "Nolito" Agudo took Joaquin Larrivey's headed pass and fired in Celta's opener in the fourth minute.

Isaac Cuenca made it 1-1 in the 55th before Larrivey headed in Nolito's corner kick for the winner in the 72nd.

Haris Medunjanin had a chance to snatch a late equaliser when Celta's Gustavo Cabral blocked Sidnei's cross with his arm, but Alvarez pushed his spot kick wide to ensure Celta claimed the regional derby.
