Modric, Ronaldo Seal Madrid Win

First-half goals from Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real
Madrid continue their La Liga resurgence with a hard-fought victory
over Villarreal.

After an early onslaught from the hosts, Modric put the European
champions ahead with a low shot from outside the area.

And Ronaldo scored his 10th league goal of the season when he tucked
in Karim Benzema's cut-back.

It was Real's third league win in a row after losing two of their first three.

Modric's goal was his seventh for Real Madrid, all of which have come
from outside the penalty area, while Ronaldo now has 13 in all
competitions this season.

Villarreal had threatened to go in front as Ikechukwu Uche's low
effort was well saved by Iker Casillas, before Argentine youngster
Luciano Vietto sliced wide when well-positioned inside the box.
