VIGO: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane sung the praises of Karim Benzema after the French forward's two goals helped his side to a 3-1 win over Celta Vigo on Saturday and continued a prolific goalscoring run stretching to six consecutive games.Advertisement

Benzema had scored crucial goals in Real's last two league outings to secure a draw at title rivals Atletico Madrid and a comeback win over Elche and then netted the opening goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Atalanta in the Champions League. He combined with Kroos again 10 minutes later to score his second, then providing an assist for Marco Asensio to clinch the victory in stoppage time after Santi Mina's goal had pulled Celta back into contention."What he did today was spectacular and I'm delighted for him because he's a real worker and he always wants to do more," Zidane added.

But unlike the majority of Real's squad, Benzema will not be joining his national side next week for World Cup qualifiers.
