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.
