James Rodriguez scored this stunning free kick for Real Madrid against Real Betis

James Rodriguez was on fine form for Real Madrid on Saturday night, scoring two superb goals in the 5-0 win against Real Betis.

After Gareth Bale had put the hosts in front, Rodriguez doubled the lead with a simply stunning free kick from the right-hand edge of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo was brought down on the edge of the box by Francisco Molinero, and Rodriguez stepped up to drill the set piece in off the far post – even taking the commentator by surprise!

That wasn't the end of his night, though. The 24-year-old made it 4-0 five minutes into the second half with a sublime acrobatic finish.

Marcelo's cross from the left rolled back to Toni Kroos, whose low shot caught Rodriguez on the foot, and the Colombian reacted superbly as it flicked up in the air, firing it home with a brilliant bicycle kick.
