Real Madrid welcomed Real Betis to the Bernabeu on Sunday night looking to move two points clear at the top of La Liga.
It was Betis that took the lead on the night in the 25th minute through Antonio Sanabria, but Real Madrid levelled five minutes before the end of the first period courtesy of a header from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Betis were forced to play the final 10 minutes with 10 men after Cristiano Piccini picked up a second yellow card, and Real Madrid made use of their one-man advantage as Sergio Ramos headed their second in the 81st minute.
