Real Madrid fight back to beat Celta with 9/10 nights from Karim Benzema, Vincius Junior

Karim Benzema grabbed a hat trick, Vinicius Junior impressed and Eduardo Camavinga scored on his debut as Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 5-2 in a thrilling first game back at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Santi Mina put the visitors ahead with just three minutes played after left-back Miguel Gutierrez gave the ball away. Vinicius went closest to levelling, seeing a header saved and a shot deflected over the bar, while Iago Aspas could have doubled Celta's lead. Karim Benzema equalised, turning home Fede Valverde's cross, and Franco Cervi put Celta back in front with a clever improvised finish in a frantic first half.
