A feast for the eyes!

Cristiano Ronaldo netted the winner as Real Madrid opened up a seven point gap over title rivals Barcelona with a 2-1 win at the Nou Camp.

Real defended well after Sami Khedira had given them the lead following an error from Victor Valdes. As a corner came in, Pepe's header was palmed out into the danger zone and Khedira swooped to hack home as Carles Puyol could not clear.

Barcelona attacked and missed two great chances when Xavi and then youngster Cristian Tello got a sight of goal, but equalized in the 70th minute as substitute Alexis Sanchez bundled the ball home from close range.

It was 1-1 for only a few minutes as Mesut Ozil released Ronaldo who turned on the afterburners to get away from the defenders and slot past Valdes for his 54th of the season.
