Hazard unlucky on his debut as Real Madrid manage another league win

Eden Hazard was in the Real Madrid squad for the first time before his introduction

Eden Hazard made his Real Madrid debut as they survived a Levante comeback to win 3-2 in La Liga's early kick-off.

Karim Benzema headed Real in front after 25 minutes when he met a cross from Dani Carvajal and the France forward struck again a few minutes later with a well-taken finish after latching on to a pass from James Rodriguez.

Brazil midfielder Casemiro stretched Real's advantage right before half-time with a lung-busting run to meet a cross from compatriot Vinicius Jr, but Levante hit back shortly after the interval through former Real forward Borja Mayoral.

After half-time Hazard made his first appearance for the club from the bench, replacing Casemiro after an hour, having missed the first three league games of the campaign with a thigh strain.

Levante reduced the deficit to one goal with 15 minutes to go thanks to a near-post header from Gonzalo Melero and twice came close to level in stoppage time but Real scraped the victory to move on to eight points after four games. Source[skysport.com]
