Marco Asensio outstanding as Real Madrid defeat Eibar

Marco Asensio was outstanding as Real Madrid defeated Eibar 3-0 on Sunday.

Asensio helped create two goals as Real Madrid recorded their fourth successive LaLiga win with a routine 3-0 success over Eibar.

Spain midfielder Asensio saw his inswinging cross diverted into the net by Eibar defender Paulo Oliveira with 18 minutes played at the Bernabeu before sweeping in the second 10 minutes later.

Champions Real, who had dropped seven points in their opening four home games, never looked in danger of slipping up in this match and substitute Marcelo completed the scoring late on to leave them third in the table, five points adrift of leaders Barcelona, who won 2-0 at home to Malaga on Saturday.
