Sofiane Boufal scores first goal for Celta Vigo

Sofiane Boufal scored his first LaLiga goal for Celta Vigo in their 3-2 loss to Girona at Estadi Montilivi on Monday.

The 25-year-old who joined the Sky Blues from Southampton last season replaced Junior Alonso and justified his inclusion with a goal.

Cristhian Stuani handed the hosts the lead in the 22nd minute but Iago Aspas levelled scores 12 minutes later with Pedro Alcala firing Girona ahead in the 37th minute.

Stuani completed his brace in the 56th minute by scoring the third goal for his side, while Boufal netted Celta Vigo’s second goal of the encounter in the 87th minute.
