Madrid Strikes Early Again On Way to 4-0 Rout of Eibar

EIBAR, Spain (AP) Real Madrid got the job done early again, scoring three goals in the first 30 minutes as it crushed Eibar 4-0 in the Spanish league on Saturday.

The victory came three days after Madrid took a three-goal lead by the 14th minute of a 6-0 rout of Galatasaray in the group stage of the Champions League.

Madrid is joint top with Barcelona, which defeated Celta Vigo 4-1 at Camp Nou Stadium. Both teams have 25 points, two more than Real Sociedad, which was held by last-place Leganes to a 1-1 draw on Friday.

It was one of the best games of the season for Madrid, which was up 2-0 after goals by Karim Benzema in the 17th and Sergio Ramos in the 20th.
