It proved to be a perfect come-back for Gareth Bale as he scored on his return from injury to help his team Real Madrid consolidate their position on top of the LaLiga Table with a 2-0 home win over hapless Espanyol.

In yet another special occasion, Alvaro Morata headed in Isco’s cross to score on his first league start of 2017 in the first half of a low-key match which produced few scoring opportunities after Real Madrid made seven changes to their team.

The hosts had received an added boost when Gareth Bale returned from three months out with an ankle injury as a substitute to cap a late counterattack and seal victory, Isco again with the assist.

Real Madrid still have a game in hand on both Barcelona and third-placed Sevilla, who can reduce the leaders’ advantage down to three points by beating Eibar later on Saturday.

The Zinedine Zidane tutored side have now won eight straight league games at the Santiago Bernabeu as they continued their push for a first LaLiga title since 2012.
