Real Madrid maintained their two-point lead at the top of La Liga after beating Alaves 4-1 on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his best at Mendizorrotza and finished the day with a hat-trick to his name.
The Portuguese scored from the spot to level the score in the first half after Madrid went behind through Deyverson. He added further two goals but also saw a spot-kick saved by Alaves goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco 10 minutes from time.
Alvaro Morata got on the sheet for Los Blancos after coming on as a substitute.
