Mercato: The return in the shape of Nicolas Pépé alerted Villarreal

No three out of three for Villarreal. After two first successes obtained at the expense of Oviedo (2-0) and Girona (5-0), the players of Marcelino roasted a cartridge this Sunday against Villarreal (1-1). However, they had been put on good rails by Nicolas Pépé.

The Ivorian had opened the scoring after a wonder of one-two with Etta Eyong (53rd, 0-1), carrying his 2-goals stats and 1 assist after three days. But at the very end of the meeting, Borja Iglesias equalized on a Rueda service (90+4th, 1-1). Villarreal is 2nd with 7 points. Vigo Celta is 14th.
