Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez was thrilled to score in victory over Eibar.

Chicharito marked his return to the starting line-up with a goal in the 3-0 win.

The on-loan Manchester United striker said: "I needed that goal and to play from the start of the match. Things are going well for me. The celebration wasn't some kind of liberation for me, I knew what I was getting into when I signed for Real Madrid. I needed to feel the faith that everyone has in me. It was a great performance by the whole team.

"I'm happy that the manager thinks I put in a good performance and that he is speaking about me on more than just a personal level. I didn't feel like the worst player before when I wasn't playing and I don't feel like the best one now just because of the boss's praise."
