#6 Iago Aspas (Spain, Celta Vigo) 🢁 🢁 🢁 🢁
Goals Scored - 15
A recurring calf injury had forced the Spaniard to watch from the sidelines as his team faltered in the relegation battle. Aspas missed a total of 9 games since the start of the year, with Celta Vigo losing 7 of those.
His return to action was in the crunch game against fellow relegation candidates Villareal at the start of the month. They were 2-0 down at one point, but the Spaniard inspired them to a miraculous comeback, scoring a brace and helping Celta Vigo win 3-2! In the following game, away at SD Huesca, he scored one and set up two, to earn a vital 3-3 draw. Last weekend, he scored another brace to help his team win 3-1 at home against Real Sociedad.
Aspas’ return from injury has been like a breath of fresh air for his club. He has scored 5 goals and set up 2 since his return. No player in the league is as important to their team as the Spaniard. The Celta Vigo fans will be praying that he stays injury free now because his clubs need him to drive them to safety.
The Spaniard has scored 15 goals from 21 appearances in La Liga so far and is averaging a goal every 115 minutes played.
