Cristiano Ronaldo, a modern-day Dixie Dean has now scored 32 goals in 23 games this season. He's notched 25 in 14 in the league (he's missed one game)! If he keeps up his rate he will score 66 league goals!

Robin M: , externalThat's what the best do. Play bad but still score.

That really is incredible, for 80 minutes it was quite tense. And in the end Real Madrid could have scored six.

So what does that do for the table?

Real Madrid are now five points clear of Barcelona (who are in action tomorrow), while Almeria drop into the relegation zone on goal difference thanks to Real's late show.

Almeria have totally collapsed, Gareth Bale puts the ball in the net but he's offside.

Marcelo forces another Ruben save and Fabio Coentrao is unable to get the ball out of his feet to score the rebound.

This is all very flattering for the visitors.

Gareth Bale almost makes it five! He fires a shot straight at Ruben and his effort from the rebound is just wide.

Unbelievable. Twelve minutes ago I suggested it was his worst performance of the season. Well he's just scored his second. Dani Carvajal goes on a great jinking run and squares the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who smashes the ball past Ruben at his near post from 14 yards out.

Real Madrid shoring up at the back now, as defender Fabio Coentrao comes on for striker Karim Benzema.

That's goal number 31 for Cristiano Ronaldo in 23 Real Madrid games this season. Remarkable.

Real now up to 74 goals in their last 20 games (all wins unless they blow this).

It wouldn't feel like a Real Madrid win without a Cristiano Ronaldo goal. Even after a poor performance he still finds the net. The Portugal international is outside the box and plays a ball out wide to Karim Benzema, who squares the ball back for Ronaldo to slot into an empty net.

If we're being honest, did any of us think this game would still be in the balance with 10 minutes left?

Cristiano Ronaldo is booked for a knee in the back of Ximo Navarro. Maybe the worst performance of the season for the Portuguese.

(Cue him probably scoring a hat-trick now)

Karim Benzema makes a proper hash of that attack, the ball bobbles off his shin as he runs through on goal and his marker comes across to receive the ball.

If that had been either Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale, that's a race they would have won.

Cristiano Ronaldo goes for a volley but he totally gets it wrong. It looks like it's going out for a throw-in but it doesn't even go that far - maybe the worst shot of his career. Will this be a very rare night off the scoresheet for him?

Wellington Silva - who is on loan from Arsenal - comes on for Fernando Soriano for Almeria.

He's been at the Gunners since 2011 apparently - Almeria are his fifth Spanish loan club from the London side.

And straight away the Brazilian whips in a good cross but his team-mate can't turn it home.

Real Madrid go straight on the attack after that huge let-off and Isco fires off target from distance. It was a similar strike to his goal but without any curl.

Verza goes to Iker Casillas's left and the Spain keeper guesses right! What a wasted chance for Almeria.

Edgar Mendez speeds into the box and Marcelo brings him down, he might have got a slight touch on the ball but he's definitely brought the Almeria player down. Drama.
