🇪🇸 Real Madrid survive scare against Celta to bridge LaLiga title gap | OneFootball

Real Madrid claimed a narrow 3-2 win over Celta Vigo to stay in the hunt for LaLiga.

Scorers: Güler 33', Mbappé 39', 48'; Rodríguez 69', Swedberg 76'

Carlo Ancelotti's side took the lead shortly after the half-hour mark when Arda Güler rifled home a curling effort from the far-left side of the box following a short corner.

Kylian Mbappé extended the hosts' advantage just seven minutes later after latching onto a ball over the top before producing a sliding half-volleyed finish.

Los Blancos appeared to be heading for a cruising victory when Mbappé latched onto Güler's through pass before cutting a low finish past Vicente Guaita.

But the visitors clawed back their deficit with two goals in seven minutes, the first coming through Javi Rodríguez pouncing to stab home from a half-clearance.

Los Celestes went on to set up a nervy finale at the Santiago Bernabéu when Williot Swedberg slotted in from a through ball from fellow substitute Iago Aspas.

Madrid remain four points adrift of Barcelona at the summit ahead of their latest meeting in El Clásico next weekend.
