La Liga history was made shortly after kickoff in Celta Vigo’s 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday (July 8). as Alvaro Morata netted the fastest goal of the season – after just 51 seconds of play.
Morata has now scored three goals in two league outings as he scored a brace in the win over Real Mallorca last Friday by striking in the first minute at Estadio de Balaidos.
Fran Beltran deservedly levelled early in the second half with his first goal of the season to rescue a point for Celta and move them seven points clear of the relegation zone with three matches to play, although third-from-bottom Mallorca have a game in hand.
Third-placed Atleti are unbeaten in 15 games and a draw keeps them on course to secure a Champions League spot.
In Tuesday’s other game, Valencia won 2-1 at Mestalla against Valladolid. Maximiliano Gomez and Kang-in Lee opened scored for the home side while the visitors’ consolation was scored by Victor Garcia.
