Karim Benzema scored the 228th goal of his La Liga career on Sunday night as Real Madrid won 2-0 at Athletic Bilbao.
Benzema fired Real ahead midway through the first half with an excellent volley from 12 yards.
Toni Kroos later made sure of the victory with a powerful effort from 19 yards in the 90th minute.
Real's win saw them stay three points behind Barcelona after La Liga's leaders had beaten Getafe 1-0 elsewhere on Sunday.
