Zidane praises Hazard after he scores his maiden Real Madrid goal

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has praised Belgium Eden Hazard after he scored his first goal for the club in their 4-2 win over Granada.

The former Chelsea man opened his account for the capital side late in the first half with a lob and he then turned provider in the second as he set up Luka Modric to score the team’s third goal of the game.

Hazard had not scored or assisted in his opening five games for Madrid and his performance impressed Zidane, who said to reporters after the game: “We need to see Eden like this, playing well and scoring goals.

“He wanted that, he was happy in the dressing room. We hope it’s the first of many for him.”
