VIGO, Spain (Reuters) - Ten-man Atletico Madrid beat Celto Viga 1-0 in LaLiga on Sunday after second-half substitute Memphis Depay opened his account for the club following his January move with a late winner.

With a draw looking the most likely result after both teams spurned chances, Depay was in the right place at the right time when a blocked shot fell at his feet before the Dutch forward turned and fired on the spot to score in the 89th minute.
