REAL MADRID 7 DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA 1: SEVEN-UP FOR ZIDANE'S MEN AS CR7 AND BALE SHINES

Gareth Bale dragged Real Madrid away
from the ignominy of a third straight home
defeat in LaLiga by netting a match-turning
brace before Deportivo La Coruna
collapsed to a 7-1 defeat.
Cristiano Ronaldo and, in a more unlikely
turn of events, Nacho, also notched doubles
to boost under-fire boss Zinedine Zidane.
Loses to Barcelona and Villarreal either side
of the mid-season break contributed to
leaving Madrid fourth and 19 points off the
pace in the title race, and further woes
awaited when Adrian Lopez capitalised on
slack defending to net a 23rd-minute
opener.
Amid palpable unrest from the stands,
Madrid steadied themselves and centre-back
Nacho levelled, before Bale took centre
stage.
The Wales star finished exquisitely to give
Zidane's men the lead at the break and he
converted Toni Kroos' corner before the
hour to make the points safe.
That Bale is now Madrid's joint-top scorer
in LaLiga with six this season owes much to
Ronaldo's trials in front of goal.
Those were again gruesomely evident until
the five-time Ballon d'Or winner followed
Luka Modric onto the scoresheet 12 minutes
from time and his brave diving header
preceded Nacho completing a rout that
leaves Deportivo slumped in the relegation
zone.
