Real stay top after 2-0 win

Gonzalo Higuain and Ruud van Nistelrooy grabbed two goals to keep Real Madrid at the summit of La Liga this evening. The game looked to be heading for a draw, but two late goals wrapped up the three points for Real at the Bernebeu.

Van Nistelrooy slotted a low shot past keeper Stefano Sorrentino after Raul had clipped a neat pass into his path on the edge of the area 17 minutes from time.

Substitute Higuain added the second just before the final whistle, rounding Sorrentino and steering into the open net after a fine through-ball from midfielder Guti.
