Match report

James stars in historic win

By Frank Henriksen

James Rodriguez impressed in a rare start as Real Madrid made it a joint-record 16th straight La Liga win with a narrow 2-0 victory over Espanyol on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale were out, so the onus fell on James. Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio, who enjoyed successful loan spells with Espanyol prior to their respective Madrid returns, also came in, while goalkeepers Kiko Casilla and Diego Lopez were facing their former clubs.
