Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a brace to help Real Madrid to a 4-1 win over Sevilla, keeping his side as favourites to clinch La Liga ahead of Barcelona.
There were some berry moments for Zinedine Zidane’s side, particularly after Stevan Jovetic halved the deficit from 2-0 to 2-1 at the start of the second half, but Real Madrid’s quality shone through in the end.
Nacho Fernandez scored the opener in controversial circumstances, taking an early freekick as Sevilla prepared their wall. The referee allowed the goal to stand despite the protestations of the visitors, with Ronaldo doubling Real’s advantage before the break.
Goals from Ronaldo and Toni Kroos after Jovetic’s strike secured the points for the hosts, meaning they can leapfrog Barcelona at the top of La Liga with a win over Celta Vigo on Wednesday night. The title is within their grasp.
