Benzema rescue Real Madrid Against Seville

Karim Benzema gave Real Madrid the lead in Seville with a perfectly executed header.

The goal puts Benzema up alongside Gerard Moreno as one of the top scorers in LaLiga Santander this season with five.

This was Benzema’s 35th goal in all competitions over the last two seasons, proving that he really has stepped up in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence.Carvajal’s role in this goal can’t be underestimated, as his attacking qualities were on show with his pinpoint dink towards Benzema from the byline.
