The final whistle goes.

Karim Benzema's late double, one against a goalkeeper and one against a defender, takes Real onto three wins from three.

Hard luck on Espanyol who played well.

That's the end of this live text now. Bye.

Leandro Cabrera makes a save! He keeps out Vinicius Jr's deflected shot.

Into the 102nd minute now. The game is gone for Espanyol sadly.

Karim Benzema, with 222, is now the seventh top scorer ever in La Liga.

Espanyol only used three subs and have a goalkeeper on the bench. But they used their three substitution windows.

Real still waiting to take their free-kick.

Apparently there will be an extra three minutes.

Espanyol defender Leandro Cabrera is going in goal for the final seconds.

Dani Ceballos got the ball first and then goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte kicked him, with an open goal pretty much.

The referee comes back from the screen... and sends Lecomte off.

Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid

Dani Ceballos is arguing he was fouled by the goalkeeper so should have a penalty. Actually it was just outside the box so would be a free-kick... but it would be a red card.

The referee goes to the screen.

Rodrygo has the ball in the back of the net but he's actually miles offside as Dani Ceballos knocks the ball onto him.

The Espanyol keeper and one of his team-mates had run into each other outside the box so Rodrygo was the nearest player to goal.

Karim Benzema almost gets his second goal of the game as he heads over from 10 yards out from an inswinging free-kick. Actually it was saved.

A bit like Nottingham Forest found with Harry Kane earlier, you can play well for a whole game but a world-class striker can make you pay if you don't take your chances.

Six minutes added on.

Espanyol bring on former Real Madrid B man Dani Gomez for Edu Exposito.

Dani Carvajal is on for Lucas Vazquez at right-back for Real.

Espanyol have a free-kick and Lucas Vazquez does well to close it down and start a quick counter. Vinicius Jr goes down in the opposition penalty area but no penalty.

A lovely long throw-in by Espanyol defender Brian Olivan but nobody can get on the end of it.

Dani Ceballos comes on for Toni Kroos in the Real Madrid midfield.

Espanyol bring on Spain Under-21 midfielder Nico Melamed for Javi Puado.

Chance for Real but Karim Benzema shoots over from near the corner of the box.
