Celta climb to 11th with a heavy win
Celta Vigo beat Racing Santander 5-0 and climbed from 18th to 11th. Racing had 59% of the ball, yet Celta led from the 32nd minute onwards, roughly 58 minutes in front, and added three more goals from the 69th minute.
A penalty opener and clinical finishing
Celta's nine shots on target compared with a season average of 3.1 across seven matches, and their xG per shot of 0.16 was well above Racing's 0.07. Hugo González's penalty in the 32nd minute was worth +0.7 FN xPts, and substitute Pablo Durán scored in the 78th and 90th minutes.
Player of the match
Miguel Román 8.7Dominant
A goal and an assist, plus four tackles and 5 of 6 duels won, put him top of the FN Score.
Miguel Román set up Ilaix Moriba's goal in the 43rd minute and scored the third himself in the 69th, so he was involved at both key moments of the scoreline. Four tackles and five duels won from six showed he contributed off the ball too.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
