Ten-man Madrid overwhelm Galatasaray

Real Madrid overcame the sending off of Sergio Ramos to record an impressive 4-1 win over Galatasaray on a night Cristiano Ronaldo was forced to watch from the stands.Goals from Gareth Bale, Alvaro Arbeloa, Angel Di Maria and Isco sealed an emphatic win for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, cancelling out Umut Bulut’s first half opener and the sending off of Ramos.A tame first half sprung into life when Sergio Ramos was shown a straight red for dragging down Umut Bulut as he raced through on the Real Madrid goal. Replays showed there was little contact between the two men, but referee Willie Collum dismissed the defender, the 17th time he has seen red in his career.However, Bale gave the hosts the lead with a wonderful free-kick, dipping and swerving his shot past Eray Iscan from 25 yards.Galatasaray struck back immediately through Bulut, who latched on to Didier Drogba’s exquisite through ball and finished calmly past Iker Casillas.Arbeloa put his side in front after 51 minutes, finishing a Di Maria cross at the back post before the Argentine winger himself made it 3-1 with a low drive from  inside the box.And Isco put the finishing touch on the rout, dancing through several challenges in the Galatasaray box before making a fool of Iscan with a slotted finish.(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)ANN.Az
