Real Madrid temporarily leapfrogged rivals Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table on Saturday courtesy of a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Eibar at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Karim Benzema got Zinedine Zidane's side off to a dream start with two goals inside 25 minutes, before James Rodriguez gave Real breathing space with a well-taken strike just before the half-hour mark.

Marco Asensio added gloss to the scoreline in the second half with a smart finish from a tight angle, although Ruben Pena did net a consolation for the home side with 18 minutes left on the clock.
