Real Madrid made hard work of Celta Vigo on Sunday, but Javier Hernandez's brace helped secure a vital 4-2 win at Balaidos.
Javier Hernandez's Real Madrid resurgence continued with a vital brace in Sunday's 4-2 win at Celta Vigo to keep the capital club within two points of La Liga leader Barcelona.
The Mexico striker netted the crucial winner in Real's 1-0 defeat of Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday and he proved decisive once again as Carlo Ancelotti's men made hard work of a vibrant Celta side.
Former Barca winger Nolito opened the scoring for Celta with a fine individual effort early on, though any celebrations in the Catalan capital will have been short-lived as Toni Kroos quickly equalized.
