Borja Iglesias celebrates a goal.
Having spent a successful season on loan with Real Zaragoza last season, Borja Iglesias has fond memories of the region of Aragon and now he has another one, having scored the brace that moved Espanyol into second place.
The striker scored the only two goals of the 2-0 win as his current team visited Aragonese side Huesca in LaLiga Santander.
Just five minutes in he had a great chance, but he was flagged for offside.
Yet Iglesias did finally score just before the half time break, converting a Didac Vila cross in the 41st minute, even if this goal also had to be checked by VAR for offside, with it decided there was none.
Victor Sanchez then had a goal ruled out for offside five minutes into the second half, before Iglesias did make it 2-0 in the 64th minute, finishing well when through one on one against Aleksandar Jovanovic.
The remainder of the game was a fiery affair, with fouls, bookings, VAR consultations and nine minutes of stoppage time.
Yet Espanyol weathered the storm and now sit second, just one point behind city rivals Barcelona.
