Marco Asensio scores superb goal as Real Madrid return to winning ways

There had been talk of a crisis at Real Madrid after back-to-back defeats but a 3-0 win against Las Palmas see Madrid return back to winning ways.  Madrid could have taking the lead very early as Benzema was played through on goal and saw a shot saved by Raul Lizoain.

After Ronaldo clipped the outside of the post and then headed at Lizoain from close range, Casemiro nodded in a corner before half-time to break the deadlock. Real continued to dominate in the second half and Asensio added a stunning second when he fired in a first-time shot from 30 yards in the 56th minute.

Toni Kroos saw a swerving effort well saved before Isco made it 3-0 when he finished from Ronaldo's cross.
