Elche, Celta Vigo share spoils

Relegation-threatened Elche scored a penalty two minutes from time to secure a 1-1 draw away to Celta Vigo in the Spanish league on Monday.
Midfielder Victor Rodriguez made the most of a brush against Celta Vigo left-winger Michael Krohn-Dehli to earn a penalty that defender David Lomban converted in the 88th minute.
Krohn-Dehli had given Celta the lead in the 61st minute when he tapped-in Jonathan Castro's perfect cross after the defender had timed his run forward to beat the Elche defenders' offside trap.
Celta stay eighth place on 32 points after 25 rounds while Elche are 17th on 24, two clear of the relegation zone.
Real Madrid lead the standings with 61 points, two ahead of Barcelona
