Borja Iglesias delivered a thrilling finish for Celta Vigo, salvaging a 2-2 draw against Espanyol with a stoppage-time goal in a dramatic La Liga encounter on Saturday. His earlier 77th-minute goal was controversially disallowed after a lengthy VAR check for offside, adding to the excitement.

Celta initially took the lead when Ferrán Jutglà scored, thanks to Javi Rueda's precise setup. Espanyol's goalkeeper, Marko Dmitrovic, kept the game intense with his remarkable save against Sergio Carreira.

Espanyol's coach, Manolo González, made strategic substitutions that seemed to pay off when Kike García equalized. However, Iglesias, set up beautifully by Pablo Durán, ensured the match ended in a draw, leaving Espanyol sixth and Celta seventh on the table.
