Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo 1-0, Jude Bellingham scored his fourth goal in three games, and Real Madrid now has three straight victories in the Spanish league.

The team’s best offseason acquisition for Madrid scored twice in the team’s recent 3-1 victory at Almeria after scoring once in the team’s 2-0 victory at Athletic Bilbao in their season opener.

The English midfielder moved to Madrid this summer for 130 million euros ($A219 million) from Borussia Dortmund, and he is already justifying the cost.

At Vigo, Bellingham dribbled into the box and was in a position to head home the game-winning goal in the 81st minute and steal a victory from a Celta team that wasted their scoring opportunities.

Vinicius Junior was replaced in the 16th minute after suffering what appeared to be a leg injury, and Joselu Mato set up Bellingham.Vinicius would undergo tests to establish the severity of the injury, according to Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.Ivan Villar, a goalkeeper for Celta, denied Rodrygo’s penalty attempt in the 68th minute after Bellingham’s pass had put the striker through.Two minutes later, Iago Aspas scuffed his attempt wide, costing the hosts a huge opportunity.American player Luca de la Torre of Celta was replaced after he received treatment from club physicians on the field following a collision, although he was able to leave on his own.Andriy Lunin returned to the bench while Kepa Arrizabalaga, a recently acquired goalkeeper, took the field for Madrid. Thibaut Courtois, the team’s normal starter who is injured, was replaced by Kepa when he arrived.Rafa Benitez took over as coach of Celta this summer, and the team has lost all three of its games since.Real Sociedad and Las Palmas both drew 0-0.
