Iago Aspas goal video: Former Liverpool striker scores delightful chip as Celta Vigo lead 2-0 against Barcelona

Aspas was bought for £9m but never scored a Premier League goal

Former Liverpool striker Iago Aspas scored an absolutely delightful chip as Celta Vigo raced into a 2-0 lead at home to Barcelona.

The Spaniard, bought by the Reds in a deal worth around £9million in 2013, never scored a goal in England's top flight, and managed just one in an FA Cup win against Oldham in January 2014.

In two unhappy years, one of which he spent on loan, Aspas played a total of just 15 matches.

Back at Celta Vigo, the club where he made his name, Aspas is faring rather better, as evidenced by a wonderful goal he scored tonight,

In case you've forgotten, Aspas could barely take a corner at Anfield:

Nolito scored the other goal for Celta to lead the La Liga leaders 2-0 at half-time.
