Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo returned to goalscoring form with his first hat-trick of the season despite also missing a penalty as Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga with a 4-1 win at Alaves on Saturday. Ronaldo’s wayward recent form had come under the spotlight, but he turned the game around after Deyverson had put Alaves into an early lead. Ronaldo levelled from the penalty spot before his deflected effort put Madrid ahead. He saw another penalty saved 12 minutes from time, but wasn’t then slammed home Marcelo’s cut-back after Alvaro Morata’s cushioned lob had made things safe.
