La Liga: Rayo Vallecano v Real Madrid

It's all over. Real Madrid go nine points clear at the top of La Liga thanks to a battling win over Rayo Vallecano.

Dani Carvajal, limping but Real don't have any subs left, heads the ball back to his keeper.

Radamel Falcao catches fellow sub Federico Valverde and this is eating up a lot of the remaining time.

Dani Ceballos is booked for dissent.

A strange one. Real Madrid are on the attack and suddenly a second ball appears in the penalty box. Rayo have the ball now (the real one).

Another poor free-kick into the box. They don't really look like equalising here.

Eder Militao heads wide as the board goes up to add on six minutes.

Rayo have a free-kick but the ball into the box is poor and Thibaut Courtois catches.

Karim Benzema has scored 10 goals in 11 La Liga appearances against Vallecano. They are the fourth opponents Benzema has scored at least 10 La Liga goals against - after Athletic Bilbao (16), Granada (14) and Valencia (13).

Real Madrid try to eat up some time as Dani Ceballos and Eduardo Camavinga replace Luka Modric and Vinicius Jr.

Rayo bring on Randy Nteka and Mamadou Sylla.

They try a repeat of that move but this time Vinicius Jr can't find Karim Benzema with a return pass.

A good double save by Thibaut Courtois to deny Oscar Trejo and Alvaro Garcia after some shoddy defending.

Real make a change on the wing as Rodrygo replaces Marco Asensio.

This referee is card hungry now. Alejandro Catena is booked for Rayo.

It's 17-11 on shots to Rayo. Sergi Guardiola had eight alone.

Leroy Sane has scored his seventh Bundesliga goal of the season and Bayern Munich lead 1-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt.

This wouldn't have counted but Luka Modric curls a beauty off the outside of the post. He was offside when Federico Valverde played the ball to him though.

Here's Radamel Falcao! He and Isi Palazan replace Sergi Guardiola and Bebe up front for Rayo.
