VIGO, Spain (AP):

Celta Vigo swept to a shock 4-1 victory over Barcelona, while Real Madrid went top of the Spanish league with a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao yesterday on a mixed night for the title contenders.

Two goals by Iago Aspas helped Celta to a convincing victory over Barcelona and second place in the table, level on 13 points with Madrid after five rounds. Celta are second for having conceded more goals than the capital club.

Promoted

Elsewhere, Rayo Vallecano beat Sporting Gijon 2-1 and Levante drew 2-2 with Eibar. Villarreal beat Malaga 1-0, while Sevilla - that has yet to win a match this season and is bottom of the league - lost 2-0 to newly promoted Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.

Manuel 'Nolito' Agudo opened the scoring in the 25th minute at Celta's Balaidos Stadium with a lofted shot that Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen got his fingertips to, but couldn't keep out. It was the attacking midfielder's fifth goal this season.

Barcelona conceded again three minutes later when Aspas pounced on a poor pass by Gerard Pique, raced forward and lifted the ball over Ter Stegen.

Aspas then sprinted up the field and side-footed the ball past a stranded Ter Stegen in the 55th.

Neymar pulled one back for Barcelona by powering in Lionel Messi's pass in the 80th, but Sweden forward John Guidetti made it 4-1 from close range three minutes later.
