Real Madrid Rout Granada 4-0 with Braces from James Rodriguez, Alvaro Morata

James Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata both scored twice as Real Madrid drew back level with Barcelona at the top of La Liga after a 4-0 demolition of already relegated Granada on Saturday at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.

Barca had put the pressure on earlier in the day with a 4-1 defeat of Villarreal, but a much-changed Real side showed no signs of nerves as Rodriguez put them ahead after barely two minutes.

The Colombian netted another in the 11th minute before a quick-fire Morata double put Los Blancos 4-0 ahead after just 36 minutes.
