Real Madrid put three past a hapless Las Palmas side

Benzema scored from the spot on his 400th Real Madrid appearance

It was a big night for Karim Benzema who captained the Real Madrid side in what was his 400th appearance for the club. He scored from the spot with a perfect strike to give Zidane's side a 2-0 lead on the night.

But the one criticism that he has always faced is due to his inability to finish off simple chances. This was the case yet again against the Canaries as he missed a simple chance in the second half. He also overhit a pass to Gareth Bale in a two-on-one situation which, frankly, should not happen at such a high level.

Meanwhile, Theo Hernandez replaced Marcelo at left back but couldn't influence the proceedings in any way. He was reluctant to bomb forward at times and never took any risks. The only thing that caught the eye on the night was his blonde hair.
