Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois: Hazard had great game

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was pleased for Eden Hazard after victory over Eibar.

Courtois says Hazard can be happy with his performance.

The keeper said, "He had a great game.

"In terms of statistics he hasn't had a goal or assist, sometimes those aren't the only things we need. Today we scored four and won, I'm sure he wanted to get a goal but I know they'll come soon."

On youngster Valverde, the Belgian added: "I get on well with Fede , he is a great player. I am sure he'll be here 15 years. He provides for the team both in attack and defence, he fights a lot and has a great shot. He got his first goal today and in training he has one of the fiercest shots. Hopefully he can keep chipping in with goals from deep because it will give us a boost."
