Vincius Jr and Guler scores in Real Madrid's 4-0 win vs Celta de Vigo.

Real Madrid won another game in La Liga as they defeated Celta de Vigo 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid scored in the first half and in the second half. Los Blancos are first in La Liga with 69 points and is 7 points clear of Girona who are second. FC Barcelona is still third in the league table, and Real Madrid is 8 points ahead of them. Real Madrid thanks Vinicius Jr, Arda Guler, and two own goals for their win against Celta de Vigo.

Real Madrid found the opener in the 21st minute as Vinicius Jr scored from close range. Luka Modric, from the corner kick, falls to Rudiger. Rudiger heads the ball to the goal, but Vincente Guaita stops it with his foot. On the rebound, Vinicius places the ball into the net to give Real Madrid the lead. Celta de Vigo was close to the equalizer before halftime as Iago Aspas' header just went wide.

Real Madrid looked to double the lead to avoid a Celta equalizer. Rodrygo had clear chances, while Eduardo Camavinga had three shots on target. The second goal finally arrived in the 79th minute from a corner again. Modric sends the ball to Rudiger, whose header hits the crossbar. The ball bounces onto the back of Celta keeper Guaita, and the ball goes in. The goal is not Rudiger's, but instead, it's Guaita's own goal.

Another own goal and a debut Arda Guler goal gave Real Madrid a 4-0 win

In the 88th minute, Celta de Vigo scored another own goal. Vinicius crosses a ball in the box toward the far post. Guaita comes off his line and doesn't get near the ball. The ball hit Carlo Dominguez, and instead of clearing it, he accidentally put it in his net.

In the last minute of the game, Toni Kroos is fouled. He takes the free kick quickly and finds Dani Ceballos. Ceballos plays a great ball to Arda Guler, and he goes around the keeper. He slots the ball into the net and gets his first goal for Real Madrid. Güler becomes the youngest Turkish player ever to score in La Liga.
