Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio gave Real Madrid a 2-0 win over Alaves on Friday to go four points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga with three games to go.
Alaves hit the bar with just three minutes played and Raphael Varane cleared the follow-up off the line before Madrid took the lead with another penalty, their third consecutive goal scored from the spot. Ferland Mendy was caught just inside the box and with Sergio Ramos suspended, Benzema converted.
