Ghana defender Joseph Aidoo climbed off the bench to help Celta Vigo thump Deportivo Alaves 6-0 in La Liga on Sunday.

The stalwart defender replaced Jeison Murillo on 70 minutes as the Sky Blues recorded their first win since the return of the Spanish top-flight.

Aidoo has featured in all three games for Celta Vigo after the Coronavirus break, marking a good campaign with the club since joining them from Belgian side KRC Genk last summer.

A brace from Rafinha and goals from Jeison Murillo and Iago Aspas saw the home side cruise to a comfortable 4-0 lead at half time.

Nolito and Santi Mina completed the mauling deep into the second half.

The win lifts Celta Vigo to 16th on the table, four points adrift of the relegation zone.
