Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain helped Real Madrid claim an easy 2-0 victory over Racing Santander to move back on top of the Primera Liga on Sunday. Portuguese wizard Ronaldo converted a penalty he won midway through the first half to put the visitors in front. Argentinean in-form striker Gonzalo Higuain wrapped up the victory with 14 minutes remaining when he raced clear before slotting home with aplomb. Real moved level on 77 points with defending champions Barcelona, who crushed Athletic Bilbao 4-1 on Saturday. However, Real lie ahead of their arch-rivals due to their superior goal difference.
