The Champions League winners
returned to winning ways after losing
twice in the last seven days, despite
seeing Fabio Coentrao sent off early
in the second half
Gareth Bale and James Rodridguez
both scored to help Real Madrid arrest
a worrying dip in form as they
dispatched Espanyol 3-0 on Saturday.
Karim Benzema struck the post on 10
minutes but the home side didn’t have
to wait long for an opener, as James
converted Cristiano Ronaldo’s pass.
The Ballon d’Or nominee then watched
on as Bale doubled Real’s lead with a
fine free-kick in the 28th minute.
But when Coentrao received a red card
following a nasty collision with Jose
Canas shortly after half-time, Madrid
were forced into an enforced reshuffle.
Thankfully for Carlo Ancelotti’s men,
Espanyol struggled to make the most of
their advantage and substitute Nacho
Fernandez, added a third to move the
leaders four points clear of Barcelona
and Atletico Madrid, who meet on
Sunday.
