Eden Hazard scored his first Real Madrid goal as Zinedine Zidane’s side survived a Granada fightback to stretch their lead at the top of La Liga.

Hazard, who signed from Chelsea in June, lobbed Rui Silva at the end of the first half after Karim Benzema’s second-minute opener for the hosts.

Luka Modric added an excellent third in the second half, but Darwin Machis and Domingos Duarte responded for Granada.

James Rodriguez then scored late in stoppage time to ensure Real’s victory.

The result sees Real open up a four-point gap over second-placed Granada. 

Benzema’s finish – his sixth in eight league games – from Gareth Bale’s sublime pass using the outside of his left foot provided the ideal start on Saturday, while Hazard’s delightful first goal for the club on the stroke of half-time ensured the scoreline reflected the hosts’ early dominance.
