Casemiro headed Real Madrid in front in the first half as Zidane's side got their La Liga campaign back on track
Struggling Real Madrid got back to winnings ways against Las Palmas with Casemiro, Marco Asensio and Isco grabbing the goals as they moved third, eight points behind leaders Barcelona.
Karim Benzema missed a huge chance in the fourth minute when played in by Cristiano Ronaldo, firing too close to Raul Lizoain when through on goal.
Ronaldo came close twice himself in the first half and Marcelo fired wide as Madrid were on top but failed to find the net until Casemiro intervened.
The Brazilian enforcer headed home at the back post in the 41st minute after a corner was flicked into his path, leaving Lizoain with no chance.
Asensio doubled the lead with a thunderbolt which zipped into the top corner in the 56th minute and will go down as one of the goals of the season, before Ronaldo teed up Isco for the third.
