Back-to-back wins for Madrid

Real Madrid made it two wins from two games under Carlo Ancelotti with a 1-0 victory at Granada, but Los Blancos were again made to work for the three points

Rumours of Gareth Bale’s impending arrival in Madrid had somewhat overshadowed the build-up to the game, but the visitors didn't appear distracted as Karim Benzema opened the scoring after just 10 minutes.

Mesut Ozil then had a goal ruled out and Isco struck the post after the break as Madrid continued to have the lion’s share of the chances.
