Real Madrid are still in the hunt for the league title after defeating Valencia 2-1 at the Bernebeu on Saturday to remain two points behind leaders Barcelona in the La Liga.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scored one of the goals of the season to put the hosts ahead in the 18th minute, but Fernando Morientes drew Valencia level 6 minutes after half-time, before Sergio Ramos headed home David Beckham’s free-kick for the winner.
