Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals as unstoppable Real Madrid
thrashed Racing Santander to record their second consecutive 6-1
Primera Division win at the Bernabeu.
Aside from Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain and Mesut Ozil were also on
the mark as Madrid returned to the top of the table having briefly
been replaced following Barcelona's win over Real Zaragoza earlier
in the evening.
Racing netted a 74th-minute consolation when Papakouli Diop's piledriver
deflected in off Markus Rosenberg but otherwise it was all Madrid
as the Spanish giants continued to impress under Jose Mourinho.
Madrid have now won nine and drawn the other two of their 11 competitive
games under the Portuguese mastermind, while the early-season criticisms
about a lack of goals are now a rapidly fading memory.
