A last-gasp header from substitute Claudio Beauvue gave Celta Vigo a slender 2-1 lead over Krasnodar after the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Celta looked set to be heading to Russia for the return match at a slight disadvantage, but substitute Beauvue's 90th-minute effort gave them the upper hand.

Daniel Wass' had put Celta ahead with a tremendous 35-yard free-kick early in the second half, but Viktor Claesson responded with an equaliser six minutes later.
