SPORT : LaLiga, Real Madrid go joint top after Eibar win

Real Madrid defeated Eibar 3-1 on Sunday, to keep pace with Atletico Madrid atop the LaLiga table.

The visitors took the lead when Karim Benzema shot past Marko Dmitrovic in the sixth minute.

Benzema then set up their second goal minutes later for Luka Modric.

Eibar pulled one back after a poor Real Madrid giveaway landed at the feet of Kike, who curled the ball over Thibaut Courtois’ head to make it 2-1.

Lucas Vazquez added one more right before full-time to ensure Zinedine Zidane’s men left with maximum points.

The result sees Real stay level on points with leaders Atleti, who have a superior goal difference over their city rivals.
