Real Madrid overcame Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the La Liga table after producing a match-winning second-half display on Saturday.

In the 63rd minute, Marco Asensio fired in an unstoppable left-footed strike from outside the area, as he had previously done against Granada. The hosts doubled their lead on 80' when Vini Jr. finished off a fine team move, which included Karima Benzema and Asensio. The Frenchman scored from the penalty spot in stoppage time to round off the scoring.
