Thank you and good night.

It was not pretty, but Real Madrid have just about edged past a stubborn Granada to move six points clear at the top of La Liga.

Asensio's fine goal 16 minutes from time was enough to do it.

Ruben Rochina comes on for Milla.

Granada lose the ball in a dangerous area and Real Madrid move the ball with rapid pace, Modric's flick setting up Hazard who is caught by Gonalons.

And it's now a free-kick! Replays show the foul was made right on the edge of the penalty area.

Asensio's relief was clear to see as he ripped his t-shirt off during the celebrations and was booked by the referee.

Will his goal prove to be the winner?

The deadlock is broken!

Asensio finds the corner of the net with a shot from 25 yards! The goalkeeper Maximiano must have been unsighted as he doesn't move!
