Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is delighted with the form of Toni Kroos.
The midfielder was outstanding for victory over Rayo Vallecano.
Ancelotti said "He was the best player on the pitch and scored his first goal.
"I'm taken aback by how good he is. His goal was on the counter and he's free to go up and attack. When he goes, Modric stays. It's a good pairing and they play well."
