BENZEMA’S LONE GOAL SECURES THIRD STRAIGHT WIN FOR REAL MADRID IN LA LIGA
Karim Benzema scored the only goal as Real Madrid secured a third straight LaLiga win, beating Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid rebounded from their midweek Champions League embarrassment by securing a 1-0 home victory over lowly Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
Karim Benzema, who limped off late on, struck in the 13th minute to ensure there was no repeat of the forgettable 3-0 loss to CSKA Moscow that summarily ended a run of four successive triumphs.
Marco Asensio had chances to put the result beyond doubt before Thibaut Courtois made a crucial double save in stoppage time, Santiago Solari’s men returning to winning ways in time for Wednesday’s Club World Cup semi-final clash with Kashima Antlers.
They head to the United Arab Emirates two points shy of table-topping Barcelona, who visit Levante on Sunday, and with clean sheets in three straight LaLiga matches for the first time since September 2015.
