VIDEO Real Madrid 2-0 Rayo Vallecano: Highlights, Goals; Ronaldo, James Keep Madrid In Touch With Barcelona

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 300th goal for Real Madrid to lead his side a 2-0 victory over Rayo Vallencao in an eagerly contested match at Vallecas. Fresh from his five-goal haul in Real Madrid's 9-1 victory over Granada on Saturday, neither Ronaldo nor his team found it anything like as easy going at Vallecano. But his one goal on Wednesday 22 minutes from time was vital in helping Madrid keep the pressure on Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
