CRISTIANO RONALDO’S 48th goal of another remarkable season set Real Madrid on the way to a battling 2-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano.
La Liga leaders Barcelona eased to a 4-0 win over struggling Almeria earlier on Wednesday and Real endured a far more testing encounter against their tireless near-neighbours.
Rayo attacked with verve and intelligence as they enjoyed the better of the first half and, although Real improved after the interval, the prolific form showcased during Sunday’s 9-1 demolition of Granada eluded them.
Ronaldo netted a remarkable five times in that game, but his solitary 68th-minute header here was arguably of greater importance in terms of the title race. Incredibly, it was his 300th competitive goal for the club in 288 appearances.
