92'
FULL TIME: Real Madrid 5-1 Rayo Vallecano
91'
This result will send Real Madrid to the top of the Spanish league table after Barcelona's win earlier today. Ancelotti's side look to have found their groove over the past month or so.
90'
Two minutes of stoppage time to be played.
88'
Although having said that, Rayo Vallecano are thrashing around one last time in an attempt to find one more goal and reduce the deficit further. They are still carrying a threat up front.
87'
Now Hernandez is on in his super sub role to see if he can fill his boots against a team that Real Madrid are cutting through at will. There could be a few more goals left in this game.
86'
Real Madrid sub: Gareth Bale OFF, Javier Hernandez ON.
85'
Real Madrid are enjoying themselves now. They are spraying the passes around with ease.
84'
82'
GOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 5 (83 mins - Cristiano Ronaldo) Rayo Vallecano 1. He has his goal, but the keeper should have saved it. The shot from Ronaldo was tame, but it squeezed through Alvarez's hands.
81'
That was quite an incredible shot from Bale. The save ended up outshining it, but that shouldn't cancel out the effort from the most expensive player in the world. That would have been a goal of the season contender.
80'
79'
What an unbelievable save! Bale smashes a strike at goal from about 30 yards but Alvarez gets his hand up to tip the volleyed strike on to the crossbar. Excellent shot, excellent save.
77'
Real Madrid are just seeing out this game now. Both sides are waiting forthe full-time whistle. Although Ronaldo is still playing on full throttle. He's desperate for a goal!
75'
Well that was just foolish. Fatau lines up a shot from about 35 yards, and the effort almost drifts out for a throw in. I think that sums up Rayo Vallecano's efforts in this second half.
74'
Ronaldo really isn't happy out there. His team might be 4-1 up and cruising to another win, but he knows he needs to keep up is goalscoring form to ensure he retains the Ballon d'Or.
73'
Navas got nowhere near that! The Real Madrid keeper comes miles off his line and is left stranded after Ba beats him to the cross, but the bar bounces just past the post. He got lucky there!
72'
Rayo Vallecano sub: Leo Baptistao OFF, Manucho ON.
71'
I think Bale is just starting to fade. He hasn't played 90 minutes in the lead for quite a while, following his recovery from injury, and is looking slightly leggy.
70'
Ronaldo comes close to adding a fifth! Bale plays a lovely pass into his Real Madrid teammate, who turns in close space and fires a shot off at goal. But Alvarez makes a good save to deny him!
69'
Isco comes on to a warm welcome from the home crowd inside the Santiago Bernabeu. He has become a real favourite with the fans this season. He has been in excellent form.
