MADRID (Reuters) -Arda Guler's cultured first-half strike earned Real Madrid a nervy 1-0 win at Getafe on Wednesday that kept their LaLiga title hopes alive and left them four points behind leaders Barcelona with five matches remaining.

After Barca extended their lead with a 1-0 victory over Mallorca on Tuesday, Carlo Ancelotti's men secured three precious points thanks to the Turkey midfielder's fine 20th-minute effort from the edge of the box.
