Iago Aspas' Daughter Was Born On Friday, He Slept At Hospital, Scored A Hat-Trick On Saturday

The legend of Iago Aspas continued over the weekend.

Aspas has been wrecking havoc in Spain since leaving Liverpool in 2014. His time in England will always be remembered for THAT corner.

But he's carving about a brilliant goal-scoring reputation in La Liga, consistently bagging goals for Celta Vigo.

Aspas secured a move to Celta Vigo following a stint at Sevilla, he's since chipped in with plenty of goals.

He's weighed in with 18, 26 and 23 goals in the past three seasons and he's set to score a similar amount of goals this campaign after a prolific start.

On Saturday, the Spanish international netted a stunning hat-trick including two outrageous strikes in a 4-0 victory.

Aspas' heroics preceded him being in hospital the night before where his partner gave birth to a baby girl.

Naturally, he was the talk of social media. Here's some reaction:

He's got eight league goals to his name. How many will he record by the end of the term?
