Real Madrid boss Zidane delighted Hazard off the mark

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane was happy to see Eden Hazard score in their 4-2 win over Granada.

Hazard got up and running in white, which has come as a relief to the Belgian and the squad.

"We need him like this and he needed to score," Zidane said. "He was happy and we're happy for him.

"I hope it's the first of many."

Alphonse Areola came in for the sick Thibaut Courtois, but he made a mistake to concede a penalty that was the main talking point of his day's work.

"You don't have to tell him anything," he said.

"He knows he made a mistake, but he had a big game.

"There wasn't always much for him to do, but he didn't stop speaking to his defence so I'm happy."
