Real Madrid back up top

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain both struck braces as Real Madrid moved back to the top of the Primera Division table with a 4-2 victory over local rivals Getafe.

The game was as good as over inside the opening 37 minutes as Madrid raced into a 4-0 lead thanks to their two leading scorers, and although Dani Parejo and Pedro Leon pulled goals back for Getafe, it was not enough to deny Manuel Pellegrini's side.

The victory was Madrid's 10th on the trot in La Liga and saw them return to the summit at the expense of Barcelona, who moved three points clear with Wednesday night's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

It also gave Madrid a further boost ahead of Sunday's derby against Atletico and helped put behind them their dismal record at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
