Twitter Reacts as Real Madrid Score 10 Against Rayo Vallecano

Real Madrid came within a goal of equalling their biggest-ever win on Sunday when they thrashed nine-man Rayo Vallecano 10-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Rafa Benitez's side trailed 2-1 after 15 minutes, but two red cards in the opening half-hour changed the game and set Real on their way to a huge victory.

It was a scoreline more associated with Sunday League football:

This was a bit awkward:

But Rayo Vallecano weren't the only La Liga side that could be embarrassed by the scoreline:

"

In 90 minutes vs Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid (10) scored more league goals than Malaga (9) have all season.
