Real Madrid 4-0 Celta Vigo: Player ratings as Los Blancos cruise to La Liga win

Real Madrid move seven points clear at the top of La Liga with a comfortable 4-0 win over Rafa Benitez's Celta Vigo on Sunday evening.

Goals from Vinicius Junior, Arda Guler and two own goals from Vicente Guaita and Carlos Dominguez secured all three points for Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu against a struggling Celta side.

As expected, Real Madrid utterly dominated the early stages of the game, winning four corners inside the opening six minutes alone. One of these corners almost resulted in the opening goal of the game, with Eduardo Camavinga forcing Vicente Guaita into a finger-tip save with a decent headed effort from 12 yards out.

Los Blancos would eventually find the breakthrough when their sixth corner kick was looped into the penalty area by Luka Modric. The legendary midfielder curled the ball perfectly into the path of Antonio Rudiger who thumped a header goalwards.

Rudiger's header would be rather splendidly saved by Guaita, as would a follow-up volley from Vinicius Junior, but a third effort from Vini would prove to be a bridge too far for the ex-Crystal Palace goalkeeper, who could only watch on at the forward tapped into the net.

Despite being on the back foot for the 99% of the first half, Celta would create one really, really good chance before the half-time whistle. That chance would fall to Luca de la Torre, who looked an unmarked header from six yards out well over the crossbar after being found by Iago Aspas at the back post.

Madrid's dominance of proceedings would continue into the second half. Federico Valverde, Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo Goes all spurned half-chances early in the half, however Madrid wouldn't create a another real clear cut chance until Joselu came off of the bench in the final
