Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy struck four times as Real Madrid swamped Osasuna 4-1 away to move to within three points of leaders Barcelona in the Spanish Primera División on Sunday. The former Manchester United frontman scored three before halftime and rounded off a superb display with a fourth near the end as he became the league's joint top scorer with eight goals.

It was his second hat-trick of the season. The other was against Levante in a 4-1 away win in September.
