Gareth Bale finds a festive use for his four-goal match ball

Gareth Bale was feeling the Christmas cheer after scoring four goals against Rayo Vallecano at the weekend.

Los Blancos scored 10 (ten!) in total but Bale took home the match ball as the day's top-scorer despite Karim Benzema's hat-trick. And the Welshman has immediately put it to good use, giving it pride of place in the Bale household on top of the Christmas tree. https://twitter.com/GarethBale11/status/678691292147269632 Personally, we'd have gone for a more traditional star or angel, but whatever you feel happy with Gareth.
