US EditionVinicius double fires Real Madrid to 4-1 win over Real Sociedad
- On Saturday, Vinicius Junior scored two penalties as Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad 4-1 to move provisionally top of La Liga.
- With Kylian Mbappé on the bench and Jude Bellingham injured, Madrid's approach was shaped by their absences, allowing Vinicius to have more freedom, as Arbeloa said he was able to play but did not want to rush his star.
