MADRID (Reuters) - Eden Hazard finally scored his first goal for Real Madrid as his side beat second-placed Granada 4-2 in a highly entertaining game at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday to go four points clear at the top of La Liga.

Goals from Hazard, Karim Benzema and a stunning long-distance hit from Luka Modric gave Real a comfortable three-goal lead but a Darwin Machis penalty and a close-range strike from Domingos Duarte had the home fans dreading a late collapse.

"We can't afford to suffer like that after leading 3-0, we need to correct this tendency. We got away with it today and against Levante but if we keep doing this we're going to drop points," he told reporters. Despite leading the table and being unbeaten in La Liga, Real were under pressure after Tuesday's sluggish 2-2 draw at home to Club Bruges in the Champions League.

Zinedine Zidane's side got off to the ideal start, however, when Benzema knocked in an incisive pass from Gareth Bale in the second minute.
