Real Madrid secured their first La Liga win in three matches as they came from behind to beat Espanyol 3-1 on Saturday.
Espanyol started positively as Joselu put the Catalan strugglers in the eighth minute with a first-time finish for his 12th league goal of the season that moves him up to third in the league’s scorers’ chart.
Vinicius Jr and Eder Militao turned Real Madrid’s fortunes around before a late Marco Asensio strike ensured all three points went the Los Blancos way.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men have now moved to six points off the top with an extra game played with the El Clasico clash against league leaders Barcelona coming up next weekend.
