Eden Hazard scored his first goal for
Real Madrid as an unlikely top-of-the-table clash had a likely ending, but that does not tell the full story.
Newly promoted Granada, the club with a budget 18 times smaller than their opponents, arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu second in the table, fielding a starting XI which included eight of the men who were with them in the second division. They departed defeated 4-2, having fallen behind after only two minutes. But it was not until James Rodríguez scored with the last touch of the game that Madrid were able to breathe easily.
