Watch: Bale leaps over defender to score thumping header, give Madrid slim win
Gareth Bale is a freak of nature.
The Welsh winger added another poor La Liga defender to his growing Rolodex of humiliated opponents, as Aritz Elustondo could do nothing to stop the soaring Real Madrid star from giving his side a 1-0 win in Saturday's contest at the Estadio Anoeta.

In the absence of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Bale stood out with a brilliant individual display, capped by the 80th-minute tally to register Madrid's 10th straight La Liga win.
The victory moved Los Blancos two points clear of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are both in action later on Saturday.
