Mallorca came into the match seeking to consolidate its sixth place position and although it had the best of the early chances it had little luck against in-form goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

Instead, Álvarez gave Celta the lead in the 32nd minute and Aspas made sure of the points when he volleyed home a rebound with eight minutes remaining.

Antonio Raíllo was sent off for the visitor shortly beforehand for deliberate handball.

Celta moved up into 10th place. Mallorca stayed in sixth.
