Europa League holders Sevilla's terrible start to their La Liga season continued as Celta Vigo climbed into second place with a 2-1 win at the Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday.

Celta's bright start to the campaign had been aided by their three previous opponents having a man sent-off early on, but they needed no such help in Andalusia as a brilliant first-half display put them on course for victory.

Nolito added to his burgeoning reputation as one of Spain's top strikers with a sweet finish from a narrow angle to open the scoring before Daniel Wass pounced on some shambolic Sevilla defending to fire in the second.

Fernando Llorente was introduced at half-time by Sevilla boss Unai Emery and made a quick impact by nodding home his first goal for the club nine minutes into the second period.

Yet, for all their dominance in the final half hour, Sevilla couldn't find an equaliser as they remain on just two points after four games.
