Marco Asensio scored one and made another as Real Madrid comfortably beat Celta Vigo in La Liga.<\/p>\n

Asensio opened the scoring with a first-time finish after Vinicius Junior\u2019s cutback into the box.<\/p>\n

A bullet header by Eder Militao from Asensio\u2019s corner three minutes into the second half sealed victory for Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Barcelona, eight points clear of second-placed Real at the top of the table, host Atletico Madrid on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Iago Aspas had Celta\u2019s best chance of the match when he just had goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to beat but the Belgian saved at full stretch.<\/p>\n

Los Blancos had a couple of half-chances before making the breakthrough, with Aurelien Tchouameni heading wide and Karim Benzema firing over from 25 yards.<\/p>\n

Asensio\u2019s goal in the 42nd minute came from their first shot on target, while Militao\u2019s headed second effectively ended the game as a contest early in the second period.<\/p>\n
