Rafinha at the double as Celta hit Alaves for six

Rafinha scored twice for Celta Vigo on Sunday as Oscar Garcia’s side smashed Alaves in La Liga at Balaídos.

Former Barcelona defender Jeison Murillo opened the scoring after 14 minutes before Iago Aspas doubled the hosts’ lead from the penalty spot.

Alaves then went down to 10 men when Aguirregabiria was sent off for a high challenge on Rafinha just before the half-hour mark.

The 27-year-old was able to continue and got on the scoresheet in some style five minutes before half-time.

Denis Suarez teed up Rafinha to curl a lovely effort past goalkeeper Roberto to make it 3-0.
