Third manager can’t bring Betis joy

Celta Vigo stats

It was another case of new manager—their third of the season—same losing feeling for Real Betis on Friday night.

Things had actually got off to the dream start for Gaby Calderon away at Celta Vigo though, Ruben Castro bundling a wicked Juanfran cross over the line early in the first half.

By half time everything had changed, though. Celta took advantage of some catastrophic defending to move into a 3-1 lead via Charles and a Fabian Orellana brace, one of which was an unmarked header from the man who is no more the 5’6” in height.

Nolito added a fourth before Castro nabbed a consolation for Betis, who are now 10 points from safety and in danger of sinking without a trace.

Elsewhere at the bottom there was a vital three points for Almeria against Getafe.
