Real Madrid boss Ancelotti pleased with victory at Celta Vigo

By Frank Henriksen

Javier Hernandez struck twice as Real Madrid thumped Celta Vigo 4-2 yesterday.

Needing a win to move back to within two points of the Primera Division leaders, Carlo Ancelotti's men fell behind early but, boosted by a brace from man of the moment Hernandez, got the job done.

Nolito put Celta ahead before Toni Kroos and Hernandez nudged Real in front. Santi Mina equalised but James Rodriguez got the European champions into a lead which would then be improved by Hernandez's second.

"We played a very good match, because if you win here it means that you have played well. Celta play very good football and we're satisfied. The team is alive, it has a good attitude and we show that on the pitch," said Ancelotti.

"Both teams like to take risks. I think that it was a very open game and the result in the end was a spectacular match. We were made to sweat at a number of points, but we were highly effective up front."
