Deportivo La Coruna 1-1 Villarreal: Host comes from behind

Deportivo La Coruna grabbed another point in their bid to avoid La Liga relegation, drawing with Villarreal.

A second-half equalizer from Celso Borges saw Deportivo La Coruna earn a 1-1 draw at home to Villarreal on Saturday.

Borges' goal canceled out a Jaume Costa effort as Deportivo climbed to 30 points, one adrift of Eibar and Almeria.

Deportivo is winless in 13 matches ahead of its final three of the season, while Villarreal sits sixth in their bid to qualify for European competition.

Costa opened the scoring in the 48th minute, delightfully lobbing a stranded Fabricio to make it 1-0 after taking a pass from Mario Gaspar.
