Ronaldo took his tally to 301 goals in La Liga
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid returned to winning ways in La Liga by beating 10-man Getafe.
Zinedine Zidane's side suffered a shock defeat by Espanyol on Tuesday, but Gareth Bale stroked in the opener from inside the area against Getafe.
Ronaldo's first, a low, drilled finish, was his 300th La Liga goal, before heading in his second on 78 minutes.
Loic Remy was dismissed for two bookable offences for Getafe, with Francisco Portillo netting a penalty.
The spot-kick was awarded for Nacho's foul in the box on Jorge Molina, although it looked like a clean challenge from the Real Madrid defender.
The result leaves champions Real in third place, closing the gap on Barcelona to 12 points.

Full-back Dani Carvajal drilled a low shot narrowly wide in the first half, while Ronaldo had a goal disallowed for a push. The Portuguese also had an effort from close range brilliantly saved by Emiliano Martinez.
Welshman Bale, who is reported to be leaving, external Real at the end of the season, struck the post with a curling shot late on and had a close-range effort kept out by on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez.
