Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals as Real Madrid recorded their second successive league victory with a comfortable win at home to Elche.

After Edu Albacar scored an early penalty for Elche, Gareth Bale glanced in a header to equalise for Real.

Ronaldo got his first of the game from the spot after Mosquera fouled Marcelo, before heading in the hosts' third.

The Portugal forward scored another penalty for his hat-trick and wrapped up victory with a clinical late strike.

Ronaldo has now scored seven goals in four days after grabbing a hat-trick in Saturday's 8-2 win over Deportivo.

The win also continued Real's impressive recent form after a disappointing start to the season.

They lost two of their first three league games but successive victories means they are now three points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand.
