Ronaldo is the top scorer in La Liga this season
Real Madrid beat Sporting Gijon by two goals to one1 in a dramatic 90 minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu. Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo netted all two goals which made him La Liga’s top scorer of the season.
The 2-1 win put Real Madrid seven points clear off Barcelona who have a match against Sociedad on Sunday.
Madrid were playing in shirts made from recycled plastic recovered from the sea.
Without the injured Gareth Bale and with Isco left on the bench, Ronaldo and Madrid youth team graduates Nacho and Lucas Vazquez took the game to Sporting.
Vazquez won an early penalty which Ronaldo carefully executed. Ronaldo grabbed his second when Nacho curled in the perfect cross from the left and he headed it into the far corner.
Real Madrid play Barcelona next Saturday at Camp Nou for yet another thrilling El Classico.
