LaLiga table-toppers Real Madrid solidified their position with a commanding 4-0 triumph over struggling Celta Vigo on Sunday, benefiting from two own goals in a dominant display at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The match saw Vinicius Junior capitalizing on a rebound from Antonio Rudiger's header to open the scoring midway through the first half. Aided by another header from Rudiger hitting the bar and bouncing off Celta's goalkeeper Vicente Guaita for an own goal, Real Madrid effectively sealed their victory with an 11-minute lead.

Guaita's involvement continued with a mix-up alongside Carlos Dominguez, resulting in another own goal as he deflected a cross from Vinicius into his own net. Turkish talent Arda Guler contributed his first Real Madrid goal in stoppage time to complete the convincing win.

While Real Madrid maintained their dominance, Celta Vigo struggled, remaining in 17th place and narrowly avoiding the relegation zone by two points.

In other LaLiga matches, Athletic Bilbao enhanced their Champions League aspirations with a 2-0 win over Las Palmas, while Villarreal secured a 3-2 victory against Real Betis after trailing twice.

Real Madrid's triumph extends their unbeaten streak in LaLiga to 22 games, maintaining a comfortable lead at the top of the table, with Barcelona trailing by eight points in third place.

Meanwhile, Sevilla has the opportunity to distance themselves from the relegation zone as they face winless Almeria on Monday.
