Raphael Varane gave Real Madrid the lead in their 2-0 victory over Espanyol and thus became the 15th player to net at least one goal for Los Blancos this season.

The Frenchman took advantage of Karim Benzema's assist to beat Diego Lopez and open the scoring.

Before Varane's opener against Espanyol, Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal were the last two players to score for Real Madrid.

Benzema is Real Madrid's top scorer with 14 goals, followed by Ramos and Rodrygo Goes (5), Toni Kroos (3), Casemiro, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Fede Valverde (2).

Meanwhile, Lucas Vazquez, Vinicius Junior, Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, James Rodriguez, Varane and Carvajal have one goal apiece.
