Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid followed up their Champions League win at Paris St-Germain with victory at Eibar in La Liga.
Ronaldo however came to the home team's rescue with the victor five minutes from time.
His double means Ronaldo has now scored in seven consecutive games and has a remarkable 13 goals overall in that period.
It's unbelievable to think that the 33-year-old was pretty much written off following the 3-0 league reverse against Barcelona back in December last year but now has 33 goals to his name this season - which is one more than Lionel Messi - and only two back on top European goalscorer Harry Kane.
"For me, he's from another galaxy", Zidane said. "He knows that he will score". He is a different player, special. "The statistics speak for themselves".
Real now sit just four points behind Atletico in the standings, while Eibar remain in eighth despite a valiant effort against the defending champions.
The home side dominated the first 30 minutes and created several chances to break the deadlock but against the run of play, a delightful Luka Modric pass sliced through the Eibar defence for Cristiano Ronaldo to open the scoring.

UConn Begins Disciplinary Procedures To Remove Ollie
The school cited disciplinary reasons and "just cause" for the move, which comes as the program is being investigated by the NCAA. The University of CT issued a statement today saying they were moving to terminate men's basketball coach Kevin Ollie.
"They were better. They played a great game", Zidane said.
"He is an important player for us and what he has done, he has done very well". He chested the ball down and slammed it in at the near post.
Cristiano Ronaldo continued his latest scoring run with two goals as Real Madrid beat Eibar 2-1 in the Spanish league on Saturday.
Ramos nodded the ball into the bottom corner after meeting Pedro Leon's corner. Subs: Nacho Fernandez (for Varane, 28) 5, Karim Benzema (for Kroos, 71) 5, Lucas Vasquez (for Isco, 71) 6.
The home side continued to control the early stages of the fixture and in the 19th minute, Kike Garcia and Takashi Inui linked up before Garcia saw his 25-yard curler tipped behind for a corner by Keylor Navas. They would soon prove costly misses.
But a defensive error allowed Dani Carvajal to cross and Ronaldo headed in. Today we had difficulties with the ball, technically we made a lot of mistakes in our passing, playing out from the back.
