Real Madrid thumped Rayo Vallecano 5-1 last night.
Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos had Real 2-0 up but an error from James Rodriguez allowed Alberto Bueno to score and give the visitors some hope at the break.
That would not last long, though, as second-half goals from Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo saw Carlo Ancelotti's men regain their two-point lead at the top of the Primera Division.
Ancelotti said: "We had a good game, because we were facing a team who wanted to play good football. We worked hard, but we did it well, as we've been doing recently."
