Real edge closer to LaLiga title with easy win over Cadiz

MADRID : Goals from Brahim Diaz, Jude Bellingham and Joselu earned LaLiga leaders Real Madrid a 3-0 win over lowly Cadiz, leaving them within touching distance of sealing a record-extending 36th Spanish title which they could clinch later on Saturday if Barcelona fail to beat Girona.

With four games remaining, Real climbed to 87 points and extended their lead to 14 points over second-placed Barcelona and 16 clear Girona in third.

Real manager Carlo Ancelotti rested several key players ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich and his side did more than enough to secure the three points.

After dominating the first-half, they finally managed to break the deadlock with Diaz first netting a curling shot from the edge of the box in the 51st minute.

He then assisted substitute Bellingham to score with a tidy finish from close range in the 68th minute before Joselu tapped into an empty net in a counter attack in added time.
