Benzema netted after Gil Manzano gave the spot kick against Alaves

Referee Gil Manzano gave another debatable penalty to Real Madrid in the 10th minute of the game against Alaves. Ximo Navarro was ruled to have fouled Ferland Mendy.

The French left back came into the box and went down easily under a tackle from Navarro.

Manzano pointed to the spot and waited for VAR to ratify his decision. There was contact but Mendy was keen to go to ground.

Madrid have scored their last three goals from the penalty spot - in the wins over Getafe and Athletic before this. This is the 140th penalty given in La Liga this season - a record.
