Real Madrid found the perfect tonic for their midweek Benayoun blues with a 2-0 win at Espanyol on Saturday.
Espanyol, full of energy and confidence having taken Barça's scalp just last week, fought hard to hold Real till just past the hour mark, but vicious challenge from Román Martínez brought down Guti just outside the box. The whistle blew and Guti dusted himself down and buried the resulting free-kick top left corner.
