Lopez scores opener for visitors before Nacho levels
Bale double and Modric goal swings game in Real's favour
Ronaldo scores late brace before Nacho also gets his second
Real Madrid 16 points behind Barcelona
With that win Real Madrid climb back into the top four. Staying there has to be the aim now, with leaders Barcelona 16 points ahead.
Barca are in action later tonight, facing Real Betis at 19:45 GMT. I'll be back for live text commentary for that game at 19:30. Hope you can pop along.
Cheerio.
Real Madrid 7-1 Deportivo
It's finally all over.
Real Madrid are back to winning ways, and in some style too.
Real Madrid 7-1 Deportivo
Three minutes added on at the end of the 90. Everyone is just going through the motions now.
Nacho
Real aren't done yet!
I feel sorry for Ruben in the Deportivo goal because he doesn't deserve to be on the end of a 7-1 defeat.
However, Real seventh's is a really simply goal, Nacho swilling inside the box to turn home a cross.
Real Madrid 6-1 Deportivo
It is quite the knock Cristiano Ronaldo has picked up. He's bleeding from a cut above his eye.
As he walks to the edge of the pitch for a doctor to give it a check he asks for his phone, sticks it on selfie mode to have a look at the damage, grimacing. He's not liking what he sees!
Cristiano Ronaldo
It's like buses!
You go without a goal for a while and then suddenly two come along at once. Cristiano Ronaldo dives to thump home a header.
It comes at a bit of a cost because he took a knock to the head when going for the ball.
Real Madrid 5-1 Deportivo
A standing ovation for Gareth Bale as he is substituted. He's been excellent today.
Lucas Vasquez replaces the Wales forward.
Cristiano Ronaldo
FINALLY!
Cristiano Ronaldo gets his name on the scoresheet, volleying in Casemiro's fine cross at the far post.
An overdue thumping victory for Real Madrid and they've deserved it.
Real Madrid 4-1 Deportivo
Hug...
Wha...
How on earth did Cristiano Ronaldo miss that!!??
The forward hooks a shot wide from six yards out. It was the very definition of a shot that was easier to score than miss but, when things aren't going your way...
Real Madrid 4-1 Deportivo
Nacho prevents Deportivo from getting a glimmer of hope as the visitors pounce on defensive hesitancy but Andone's shot is cleared off the line by Nacho.
Luka Modric
Deportivo are leaving so much space at the back and Real Madrid take full advantage. Cristiano Ronaldo flicks the ball into Luka Modric's path on the edge of the area and the midfielder whips it into the back of the net. Lovely goal.
Real Madrid 3-1 Deportivo
Karim Benzema gets immediately into the thick of things, playing the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo inside the Deportivo box. Ronaldo has the chance to tee up Toni Kroos but opts to go for it himself but shoots wide.
Real Madrid 3-1 Deportivo
A solid outing for Borja Mayoral comes to an end as he is replaced by Karim Benzema, restoring the original BBC attacking triumvirate for Real.
Real Madrid 3-1 Deportivo
Casemiro defends well to prevent Juanfran from twisty and turning his way into a shooting opportunity. Deportivo, with nothing to lose, are throwing players forward now.
Sean Hill: Much better from #RealMadrid today! They've made tens of chances per game this season, but finally they're starting to convert.
Gareth Bale
Ruben tipped Casemiro's header behind from a corner and it from the set piece that Gareth Bale glances home for his second of the game.
Real in control
WHAT A SAVE!
Incredible reflexes by Ruben again as he somehow stops Casemiro's close range header.
But...
Real Madrid 2-1 Deportivo
Another change for the visitors as midfielder Celso Borges is replaced by Emre Colak.
Real Madrid 2-1 Deportivo
Real come forward again. Cristiano Ronaldo playing in Marcelo on the overlap and the fullback hits a low ball into the dangerzone, Borja Mayoral stretches to meet it but just fails to connect for a tap in.
Surely only a matter of time before Real add a third?
Real Madrid 2-1 Deportivo
Big opportunity for Real Madrid to add a third as Dani Carvajal is picked out inside the area by a brilliant ball from the hosts' own half. Carvajal bottles having a pop at goal and instead squares for Cristiano Ronaldo, who shoves a defender a bit too hard for the referee's liking and the visitors are awarded a free kick.
