REAL MADRID BOUNCED back after their humbling Copa del Rey loss to Alcoyano by beating Alaves 1-4 away from home this evening.
A Casemiro header gave Los Blancos the lead after 15 minutes and Karim Benzema blasted in a second four minutes before the break with Eden Hazard putting the match beyond the hosts in first-half stoppage time.
Joselu grabbed a consolation goal for the hosts on the hour mark, but Benzema completed the scoring 10 minutes later, curling in a smart finish to restore the three-goal advantage.
The win leaves Real four points behind leaders Athletico, who still hold two games in hand on their cross-city rivals.
