Celta s first win in seven rounds lifted them to ninth place. Elche were left second-to-last in the relegation zone.
Mina opened the scoring in the 45th minute after he received an exquisite pass by Nolito, who used a skillful touch to redirect a ball from Iago Aspas that left Mina with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Aspas and Nolito combined again a minute later to set up Brais Mendez and give the hosts a 2-0 lead into halftime.
An error by Celta goalkeeper Ruben Blanco let Elche pull one back in the 50th.
Trying to avoid giving Elche a corner kick, Blanco pawed a ball that was going over the end-line back into play. The ball went directly to Elche s Guido Carillo, who assisted Emiliano Rogini to score into an empty net.

Frenkie De Jong and Riqui Puig on target as Barcelona move third after Elche win

Substitute Riqui Puig struck at the death as Barcelona left it late to secure a fifth-successive LaLiga win on the road as they were made to work hard for the points at lowly Elche.
Frenkie De Jong’s 39th-minute opener was all that separated the sides as the clock ticked down towards the final minute of the 90 at the Martinez Valero Stadium before Puig headed home the Dutchman’s cross to seal a 2-0 victory.
Elche kept themselves in it to the death thanks in large part to a string of fine saves by goalkeeper Edgar Badia, who denied substitute Trincao twice inside the final seven minutes.
