90': Ronaldo almost scores his fourth but Isco's through ball is just out of reach!

86': GOAL! Jese does well to advance into the box and his cross is unfortunately turned in by Duarte for an own goal!

84': Casemiro goes into the book for a nasty foul. Espanyol have a free-kick but Navas dives low to his left to make the save!

82': GOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo gets his hat-trick with a header from close range! Good work by James on the touchline who releases Jese and his cross is powered home by the Portuguese forward!

80': Another chance for Espanyol, another comfortable save for Navas. The visitors are getting into good positions inside the box but are just not making their chances count.

78': Ronaldo has another free-kick in a similar location to the last one but this time he opts to cross it in. Ramos tries to get to the end of it but falls to ground - the referee is not interested!

74': SUBSTITUTION - Karim Benzema comes off to applause from the fans and Lucas Vazquez takes his place

73': SAVE! Keylor Navas to the rescue again! Espanyol counter-attacked this time and Navas spreads himself on a 50-50 ball to block the shot.

71': Incredible, Real Madrid were on the counter but the 'keeper comes out of the box, tackles Ronaldo and clears the danger!

69': RONALDOOO....OOOH! A free-kick is sent over the wall but doesn't dip enough and the ball kisses the roof of the net as it goes over. Ronaldo can't believe it himself!

66': How did Benzema miss that? Marcelo finds Ronaldo in the box and he lays it on for the French striker who misses by miles!

63': Modric comes off to a standing ovation. He's done well in midfield today to move the ball forward. Jese Rodriguez comes on for the Croatian midfielder.

62': BENZEMAAAA... SAVED! All of Ronaldo's skills on display as he lobs the ball into the box but Benzema's header is straight at the goalkeeper!

61': BLOCKED! Ronaldo tries to set up Isco but his shot from outside the box finds a defender and the attack comes to nothing.

55': SAVE! Keylor Navas is tested by a Sanchez shot from distance but he is able to block the effort.

51': Espanyol have started the second half better than they did the first. Yet another free-kick is floated into the box but the header is soft and Navas collects it easily.

This is how @Cristiano scored our fourth goal of the evening against Espanyol!#RMLiga #HalaMadrid pic.twitter.com/6Z0erYIkwY

46': Espanyol have a free-kick but the header is wide of the target. They should have scored there, it was a free header in the box!

SECOND HALF kicks off!

Cristiano Ronaldo is 1st player since turn of century to score SEVEN La Liga goals against the same opponents (Espanyol) in the same season.

45': GOAL! Real Madrid counter, Ronaldo sidesteps a defender, avoids another and takes a shot with his left foot that beats the 'keeper! 4-0!

45': SAVE! Espanyol get their first real chance and Keylor Navas rushes out to deny them!

42': Another foul, this time James is brought down on the right flank by Mamadou. That's their third Yellow Card!

40': Luka Modric is brought down with a high boot. Espanyol have been pretty physical ever since conceding. Marcelo has also not been spared.

34': Ronaldo skips over the free-kick and James takes it instead but the ball sails well over the bar.

33': Marcelo makes a mazy run into the box but his eventual cross is cleared before Carvajal is fouled outside the box - in Ronaldo territory!

29': Ronaldo is livid with the referee thinking he has been whistled for a foul when in fact he was offside - just inside Espanyol's half. Ronaldo cracks a smile and walks away.

28': Real Madrid really playing like a team at the moment, trying to get their teammates involved as much as possible.

10 - James Rodríguez has been involved in more goals than any other midfielder in La Liga this season (4 goals, 6 assists). Playmaker.

7 - @Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more penalty goals than any other La Liga player this season (all competitions). Executioner.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival in La Liga (2009), he has 51 penalty goals in league. Messi 32. No one else more than 15. #laliga

Karim Benzema has now scored 22 goals in all comps this season, equalling his total for the whole of last season #RMLiga #LaLiga
— Sky Sports Statto (@SkySportsStatto) January 31, 2016

16': GOAL! James Rodriguez's shot from outside the box makes it 3-0 via a deflection. The Colombian may have been marginally offside though when he received the ball.

14': It's all Real Madrid at the moment with Espanyol unable to get out of their own half.

Karim Benzema scores his 18th La Liga goal of the season, only Luis Suárez has scored more (19). pic.twitter.com/3nDDRNJg9U
