Ramos sees red after scoring winning goal

It takes a lot to overshadow the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo -- especially given his recent form.

After his midweek all-action showing against former employer Manchester United and a goal which had experts running out of superlatives, the Real Madrid man had a much quieter night.

Instead, it was left to teammate Sergio Ramos to take the headlines as Real took on local rival Rayo Vallecano at the Bernabeu Sunday.

Leading 1-0 through young striker Morata, Ramos headed home to extend his side's advantage on 12 minutes for his first contribution of the evening.

His next, however, was not so clever. A foul on Roberto Trashorras earned him a yellow card and just 45 seconds later, he was shown a second for handball.

Off he trudged with 18 minutes on the clock, a goal, two yellow cards and an early bath.

While receiving two bookings within 45 seconds is unusual, Ramos' dismissal is anything but.
