Asensio stars as Real beat Eibar
Madrid : Marco Asensio had a hand in two goals as Real Madrid recorded their fourth successive La Liga win with a routine 3-0 success over Eibar.
Spain midfielder Asensio saw his in-swinging cross diverted into the net by Eibar defender Paulo Oliveira with 18 minutes played at the Bernabeu before sweeping in the second 10 minutes later.
Champions Real, who had dropped seven points in their opening four home games, never looked in danger of slipping up in this one and substitute Marcelo completed the scoring late on to leave them third in the table, five points adrift of leaders Barcelona.
Manager Zinedine Zidane opted to shuffle his pack following the midweek Champions League draw with Tottenham, making five changes, including leaving Marcelo, Toni Kroos and Karim Benzema on the bench.
The alterations appeared to have little disruption early on and they had the opportunity to go in front inside two minutes.
Superb skill and vision from Asensio led to a clear sight of goal for Isco. (espn.in)
