Williot Swedberg a hero when La Liga club turned the game around

Celta Vigo were trailing 0-2 at home against Real Betis in La Liga football – then Swede Williot Swedberg entered the fray. After the home team had both reduced the deficit and equalized, the 21-year-old scored the match-winning goal 3-2 in the 87th minute.

Williot Swedberg was substituted in after an hour and shortly thereafter, Fran Beltran and Javier Rodriguez each scored a goal within two minutes, making the score 2–2.

It wasn't until the end of the match that Celta Vigo could decide. Sergio Carreira found a free Swedberg in the penalty area and the Swede's finish found its way into the goal via an opponent's leg.

The goal was Swedberg's third of the season and his first in the league since he scored against Real Madrid (1–2) in October.
