Real Madrid match-winner Benzema is 'on a different level', says Zidane

The French striker starred against Eibar as he helped his side to their fifth consecutive victory

Karim Benzema is playing "on a different level" after helping Real Madrid to another win, coach Zinedine Zidane said.

Benzema scored and provided two assists as Madrid made it five straight wins in all competitions by beating Eibar 3-1 in La Liga on Sunday.

It was the 30th time the Frenchman has scored and assisted in the same La Liga game. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (44) has done it more often for Madrid in the 21st century.
