Karim Benzema scored twice as Real Madrid overcame the absence of injured Cristiano Ronaldo and suspended Gareth Bale to beat Eibar.
The striker scored from a rebound after Yoel had saved his initial effort and then turned home James Rodriguez’s free-kick to double Real’s lead.
BBC reports that Benzema set up the third with a cross which Rodriguez slid home over Yoel.
Marco Asensio scored a fourth after Rodriguez’s effort hit the post before a late Ruben Pena consolation.
Real are now two points above Barcelona at the top of La Liga, but Barca will go back to the top if they beat Celta Vigo.
