MADRID: Eden Hazard scored his first goal for Real Madrid as his side beat second-placed Granada 4-2.

With the win, Real Madrid has four points clear at the top of La Liga.

Goals from Hazard, Karim Benzema and a stunning long-distance hit from Luka Modric gave Real a comfortable three-goal lead but a Darwin Machis penalty and a close-range strike from Domingos Duarte had the home fans dreading a late collapse, international media reported.

Substitute James Rodriguez sealed the win with a goal in stoppage time, taking Real on to 18 points after eight games, while Granada are second on 14, according to the report.
