The midfielder had only scored six league goals in his Eibar career going into the game, but his 16th-minute strike will surely be the most memorable of the lot.
Initially disallowed for offside, VAR made sure that the hosts were left celebrating the opening goal of the game.
It all came from a Real Madrid corner, with Eibar quickly launching into a fluid counter.
Fabian Orellana slipped Marc Cucurella in down the left and his low cross was perfect for Kike Garcia.
the former Middlesbrough man must have seen his name in lights as he met it side-footed, only for Thibaut Courtois to deny him with a fine save.
It was only temporary respite for the visitors, though, as Escalante seized on the loose ball to bundle home.
