Madrid have now closed the gap to Atletico Madrid in second to two points ahead of their game against Barcelona later and will be glad that they are back to winning ways after their midweek lost. Eibar did have the opportunity to go up to ninth with a win in this game, but remain in 11th as they now turn their attention to their match against Real Sociedad next weekend.
Real Madrid came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Eibar in Zidane's 100th LaLiga match in charge of the club. Eibar played well in the first half and took advantage of the home side's slow start to the game when Cardona lifted the ball over Navas to give them a 1-0 half-time lead.
