(Video) Goals! Cristiano Ronaldo grabs his first-half hat-trick over a shell-shocked Granada

Real Madrid are easing towards three crucial points against Granada, as, following on from Gareth Bale’s opener, Cristiano Ronaldo has grabbed a first-half hat-trick – and possibly the easiest of his career.

Granada look set to suffer an embarrassing defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as Ronaldo eases ahead of Lionel Messi in the race for the Pichichi.

Have a watch of the goals below!

His first could have been grabbed by James Rodriguez or Karim Benzema – but of course it was the Portugal captain to get his name on the scoresheet with the simplest of finishes by his standards.

It’s far too easy again for Ronaldo, as woeful defending – but even worse goalkeeping – sees the unmarked 30-year-old volley the ball into the back of the net.

His third, a superb long-range effort, only begs the question – just how many goals will Granada’s keeper concede today?
