Celta held by Granada

Celta Vigo were held to a goalless draw during their Primera Division clash against Granada at Balaidos on Saturday.
Sergi Gomez had a first-half goal disallowed while the visitors had goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez to thank for keeping a clean sheet.
The result means Celta, who stretched their unbeaten run to four games, dropped down one place into seventh, while Granada moved up two places into 14th.
The home side had a goal scratched off 10 minutes in when Gomez was caught offside as Eduardo Berizzo's side began to dominate early on.
Pablo Hernandez sent a great effort from the edge of the box wide of the Granada goal five minutes later and team-mate Fabian Orellana missed the chance to put the hosts in front midway through the first half.
Jeison Murillo brought down Joaquin Larrivey 30 yards out and 28-year-old Chile winger Orellana was awarded with the resulting free-kick but, while he did well to lift his effort over the Granada wall, it was comfortably held out by Fernandez.
With just over 10 minutes to the break, Fernandez did well to keep out Gomez's header as the hosts continued to press forward and Granada had their first chance of the half in stoppage time as Youssef El Arabi's thunderbolt went wide.
The second half started at a slower pace but Celta were still on the front foot and Nolito was the first to look for the opener but his effort from the right wing went straight into the hands of Fernandez.
Larrivey came close on the hour mark but sent his shot just wide of the goal and the away side had their best chance of the match minutes later as Ruben Rochina sent the ball slightly wide from the six-yard box.
After that brief chance against them, the home side tested the Granada defence again minutes later but Nolito's close-range effort was again held out by Fernandez.
The visitors were finding more chances now and Rochina could have broken the deadlock had his 25-yard free-kick not hit the wall midway through the second half.
Orellana and Nemanja Radoja both tested Fernandez late on as the frustrated home side looked for a winner, but they had to make do with a share of the spoils.
