Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was pleased with victory at Getafe.

Cristiano Ronaldo popped up for the winner.

Zidane said: "We started well, made chances and went in the break at 1-0. In the first 10 or 15 minutes of the second half we cooled off a bit but rounded the game off with character, getting the win and the three points. The game was good but not perfect. We're happy with the result, let's see if we can catch the others. It was a deserved win and that's that.

“It was 90 minutes and we knew we could score whenever. The first ten minutes of the second half were tough but we coped. Isco did great and came up with the assist. We weren't as tight in the second half. We changed our tack and found that hole for Isco to set up Cristiano Ronaldo's first goal this year."
