Karim Benzema continued his rich scoring form as Real Madrid warmed up for Tuesday's Champions League fixture against Liverpool with victory over Eibar.

The Frenchman recorded his 24th goal of the season with a firm header from eight yards in the 73rd minute.

Marco Asensio scored the opener when he slotted in from midfielder Casemiro.

The win moves Real to within three points of leaders Atletico Madrid, who are at Sevilla on Sunday.
