BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Celta Vigo's Alex Lopez scored twice in a 5-0 rout at Malaga in the Spanish league on Saturday, breaking a four-game losing streak for Luis Enrique's side.
Lopez opened in the sixth minute before Augusto Fernandez fired in a ball that fell to him in the area to double the advantage in the 23rd.
Lopez headed in a rebound of a shot saved by goalkeeper Willy Caballero in the 64th before Manuel "Nolito" Agudo and Charles capped the demolition in the 74th and 81st.
