Benzema double helps Madrid win hectic game at Valladolid
VALLADOLID, March 11 — Real Madrid ended a three-game losing streak by winning 4-1 at Real Valladolid in a chaotic game on Sunday in which the hosts had two goals ruled out, missed a penalty and hit the woodwork while the visitors had Casemiro sent off late on.
Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric then showed his class to stretch Madrid’s lead in the 85th after Casemiro was dismissed for earning two bookings. The victory is unlikely to extend Argentine Solari’s stay as coach, with reports in the Spanish media predicting he will be sacked on Monday having only taken the reins in mid-November.
