Real Madrid welcomed top-four hopefuls Sevilla to the Bernabeu on Sunday night knowing that a win would see them move just one point behind second-place Atletico Madrid.
Both teams missed from the penalty spot in the capital, in addition to having two goals wrongly disallowed for offside.
It was the home team that collected all the points, however, as goals from Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Jese Rodriguez secured another win for Zinedine Zidane's outfit.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
