"Midfielder Valvrder netted his fifth goal in three games for Los Blancos, having scored a hat-trick in midweek against Manchester City, with a curling effort from the edge of the box just before half-time on Saturday."
"The 21-year-old Turkey midfielder spotted Elche goalkeeper Matias Dituro off his line and didn't hesitate to launch a long lob with his left foot that sailed over the hapless 'keeper and bounced once before settling into the net."
"The win moves Real to within a point of leaders Barcelona, who can restore their four-point advantage when they play Sevilla on Sunday."
