The Wales international, making his first start at the
Bernabeu, opened the scoring with a smart finish,
before adding a second soon after.
Bale, 24, also provided two assists as Cristiano Ronaldo
scored a hat-trick, while Karim Benzema grabbed two
goals.
Ivan Rakitic scored two and Carlos Bacca got one for
Sevilla, who had Stephane Mbia sent off.
Real are six points behind leaders Barcelona after the
win and two off second-placed Atletico.
The two goals took Bale's total for Real Madrid to three
goals in six games since his £85m move from
Tottenham on 1 September.
It was the ideal response to a low-key performance by
Bale in the 2-1 El Clasico defeat by Barcelona on
Saturday, when he was making only his second start of
an injury-hit season.
An added boost for manager Carlo Ancelotti was that
Bale completed 90 minutes for the first time since
joining Real.
His first goal against Sevilla was one of quality as he
powerfully swept the ball into the top corner of the net
after being set up by Benzema.
Bale doubled Real's lead just before the half hour mark
when his free-kick took a huge deflection off the Sevilla
wall to loop into the net.
The hosts then looked to be in control when Ronaldo
confidently dispatched a penalty after Isco was brought
down inside the area.
But Sevilla fought back before the break as Sergio
Ramos was judged to have pushed Diogo Figueiras in
the box and Rakitic scored the spot-kick.
Bacca then rolled the ball into the net from Vitolo's
pass to pull the visitors to within one goal of Real.
A sweeping counter by the hosts after the break made
it 4-2 when Benzema side-footed in from a pass by
Bale, who then provided the assist for Ronaldo to
convert from a similar position.
Rakitic curled in a third for Sevilla but victory was
assured for Real when Ronaldo completed his hat-trick
with a deflected effort.
A difficult match got worse for the visitors 15 minutes
from full-time when Mbia earned his second yellow
card of the game for his part in a clash with Luka
Modric.
The man disadvantage left a tired Sevilla side exposed
and Real pushed forward in the closing stages looking
for more goals.
Their seventh arrived 10 minutes from the end of the
game when Benzema headed in Marcelo's cross.
