Real Madrid vs Espanyol - 21st September 2010

After his goal in the Real Sociedad match was given to Pepe, Cristiano Ronaldo finally scored his first goal for Real Madrid this season and helped them win 3-0 over Espanyol.

Espanyol's good start was spoiled just before the half hour when Ronaldo was given a free kick. Luis Garcia used his hand to bat the ball away and the referee gave Ronaldo a penalty. He scored the first time but the referee disallowed it and ordered him to try again. He made no mistake second time around for his first goal of the season.

It was a difficult game with both teams reduced to 10 men after Cristiano's teammate Pepe picked up two yellow cards in quick succession and Ernesto Galan was shown a straight red after felling Ronaldo.

Both teams had numerous chances before Higuain scored making it 2-0 to Real Madrid. Karim Benzema then replaced Higuain and made it 3-0 with almost his first touch, hooking the ball into the net from inside the area.
