Well, time for me to scarper. Cheers for following and I'll leave you with the report from the game.

Real Madrid's Toni Kroos, speaking to La Liga TV: "We are worried with the injuries we have. They are important players we are missing.

"Our objective of course is just to think about what we can do on the pitch. If we want to have any chance of being on the top we have to win our games."

All over and a very, very comfortable win for Real Madrid. Too easy really.

Three minutes of time added on in Madrid.

Into the final few minutes and we're just counting down to the final whistle really. Valencia are making no effort to try and create some late drama.

Maxi Gomez is off for Valencia as on-loan Wolves forward Patrick Cutrone comes on.

Double change for Real Madrid as Luka Modric and Karim Benzema are replaced by Mariano and Isco with 10 to go.

Ferland Mendy can't get the ball out of his feet to get a shot off inside the area. Should really have been 3-0.

Victory will move Real Madrid up to second and five points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

The hosts look to be preparing to make another couple if changes for the closing stages.

Real Madrid make their second change of the game as Marco Asensio is replaced by Sergio Arribas.

Luka Modric fizzes a long-ranger just wide as Real Madrid keep up the hunt for a third.

Twenty minutes to go. If Valencia can get one back it will make things interesting but, bar a brief spell at the start of this half, they've not really looked like getting on the scoresheet.

Real Madrid continue to attack and Toni Kroos almost finds Marco Asensio with a great ball into the box but Jaume Doménech just gets there in time.

A lifeline for Valencia then as they make a couple more changes. Daniel Wass and Carlos Soler make way for Lee Kang-In and Christian Oliva.

It's ruled out for offside!

Replays show Ferland Mendy's heel is offside as he received the ball from Vinicius Junior inside the box.

Luka Modric has been a danger all game, playing balls to unlock the Valencia defence and he does so again to pick out Karim Benzema but the forward can't get a shot off from a tight angle.

There is, at least, some attacking intent from Valencia now as they spent the first half pretty much just watching Real Madrid walk through them.

Toni Kroos then tries his luck from distance at the other end but he doesn't connect well as his effort flies wide.

Where did that come from?

Valencia finally manage a shot on goal and it is a belter as Maxi Gómez hits a dipping effort from outside the box towards goal but Thibaut Courtois is alert to the danger.
