Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Real Madrid and Valencia. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano. Kick off is at 21:00 GMT.

That turned out to be an excellent display from Real Madrid. Valencia had their chances in the opening 45 minutes, but Benzema, Hazard and Asensio took a grip of things and that result and performance puts down a marker in the title race. Los Blancos are in good shape.

FULL TIME: Real Madrid 3-0 Valencia

Asensio scored just 31 seconds after coming off the bench having spent the entire season injured. That will take some beating as one of the moments of the 19/20 season.

This second half performance has been great from Real Madrid. This has been arguably the best 45 minutes of their entire season so far. They have put Valencia in their place.

There will be four minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.

SENT OFF! That's sheer petulance from Lee who had one, two, three swipes at Ramos. He can have no complaints over that decision from the referee. Valencia will finish with 10 men.

That could be a Goal of the Season contender. What a sensational goal from Benzema that was. How many players in world football can do that? Such a uniquely brilliant goal.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 3 (87 mins - Karim Benzema) Valencia 0. What. A. Goal! Sensational! Real Madrid moved the ball forward in an excellent passing move, the cross came in for Benzema, he controlled with his left to lose the Valencia defender and then LASHED a volley into the top corner of the net! Wow!

Valencia look weary now. They played well in this first half, they had chances to open the scoring, good ones, but Real Madrid are in control of things now. No way back for the away side.

All of a sudden things are looking pretty rosy for Real Madrid. Hazard and Benzema's partnership is finally flourishing and Asensio is also back and scoring goals. A decent night.

Vinicius was through! Moments after coming off the bench, Vinicius bursts in behind the Valencia defence, he could have taken the shot on himself, but he squares it and the clearance is made.

Another good performance from Hazard, but his game is over. On comes Vinicius.

Hazard has made the return since the resumption of the Spanish season and Asensio could also give Real Madrid a genuine boost down the final stretch of the title race.

The match might be gone for Valencia, but Lee will still have a chance to make an impression.

Everyone in white grinned from ear to ear when that shot from Asensio hit the back of the net! He has waited so long to return to the game and what a way for him to do it!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Madrid 2 (75 mins - Marco Asensio) Valencia 0. Would you believe it? What a moment! Amazing! Asensio scores with his FIRST TOUCH after a year out with injury! Mendy got to the byline, crossed for his teammate who swiped an excellent volleyed finish into the back of the net!
