Real Madrid secured an impressive 3-0 derby
win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday night
courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick.

Los Blancos had not defeated their neighbours
in six games but the Portuguese's devastating
display in front of goal saw the La Liga leaders
to a comprehensive win at Vicente Calderon.
Ronaldo grabbed his first from a deflected free-
kick before adding his second via the penalty
spot, with Gareth Bale setting up his third with
a perfect cross after a lightning counter-attack.

The result sees Zinedine Zidane's men open up
a four-point lead at the top of La Liga over
Barcelona, who could only draw 0-0 with Malaga
earlier on Saturday.
