La Liga: Morata makes stunning Real Madrid return

Alvaro Morata (21) made an impressive comeback at Real Madrid, breaking the 60-minute deadlock on their match against Celta Vigo at Santiago de Bernabeau.

The former Juventus forward almost grab his second when he latched on to the ball from mildfielder Toni Kroos.

The advantage was short-lived as Celta found a crack on the defense of Los Blancos and got an equalizer at 66'.

Kroos stepped up the striking power of Real Madrid to seal their 2-1 victory against Celta via curled shot at the edge of the box at 81'.

In the first half, Luca Modric foiled the crossbar; in the second it was Bale's turn to be thwarted by the woodwork. The Welshman struck a beautiful free-kick in the 56th minute but Sergio got just enough to see the ball on to the bar.

Amid absence of star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karem Benzema and Keylor Navas, the Los Blancos are now on a 14-match winning streak. They remain at the top spot of La Liga's 2016/17 season.
