VIDEO: Benzema nets brace vs. Getafe; first goals since October

Karim Benzema is back among the goals at Real Madrid. It's been a while.

The French striker, who has seen the last two months of his career derailed by both injury and scandal, scored his first goals since early October in Saturday's contest against Getafe, netting a brace to help his side jump out to a quick 2-0 lead.

The opening tally came courtesy of a perfect cross from, of all people, Pepe, who popped up on the right wing before setting up the attacker.

The much-maligned forward doubled his haul in the 16th minute, bringing his total to eight goals in nine La Liga matches this season.
