Real Madrid reclaimed a five-point cushion at the head of La Liga on Sunday after late goals from Isco and Nacho built on Karim Benzema's 31st-minute opener to secure a 3-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Kiko Casilla started his seventh league game of the season for Los Merengues as under-fire No. 1 Keylor Navas was rested following the international break, as were James Rodriguez, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo.
Raphael Varane's return from a hamstring injury was short-lived, however, after the centre-back appeared to suffer a repeat of that blow, meaning it's not all positives for manager Zinedine Zidane.
