Ronaldo's 300 goal

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 300th goal of his Real Madrid career to see off Rayo Vallecano and remain within touching distance of Barcelona.

The Portugal forward netted in the 68th minute to move Madrid within four points of their great rivals, having already been wrongly booked for diving in the area on what was shaping up to be a frustrating evening for the three-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Yet Ronaldo reached the landmark figure in just 288 appearances by doing what all forwards should, sending a header downwards and beating goalkeeper Cristian Alvarez, as the club's third highest goalscorer in history edged closer to the totals of Alfredo Di Stefano’s 308 and Raul’s 323.
