Real Madrid beats Valencia 3-0 to keep pace with Barcelona

Karim Benzema scored twice and Marco Asensio added another on his return from a 10-month injury layoff as Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 on Thursday to keep pace with leader Barcelona in the Spanish league. The home win left Madrid two points behind Barcelona, which defeated Leganes 2-0 on Tuesday for its second straight win after the pandemic break. Madrid took control of the match after a lackluster first half in which Valencia had the most significant scoring chances and a goal disallowed by video review.
