We analyze the anisotropic clustering of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) Luminous Red Galaxy Data Release 14 (DR14) sample combined with Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS sample of galaxies in the redshift range 0.6$<z<$1.0, which consists of 80,118 galaxies from eBOSS and 46,439 galaxies from the BOSS-CMASS sample. The eBOSS-CMASS Luminous Red Galaxy sample has a sky coverage of 1,844 deg$^2$, with an effective volume of 0.9 Gpc$^3$. The analysis was made in configuration space using a Legendre multipole expansion. The Redshift Space Distortion signal is modeled as a combination of the Convolution Lagrangian Perturbation Model and the Gaussian Streaming Model. We constrain the logarithmic growth of structure times the amplitude of dark matter density fluctuations, $f (z_{rm eff})sigma_8(z_{rm eff})=0.454 pm0.139 $, and the Alcock-Paczynski dilation scales which constraints the angular diameter distance $D_A(z_{eff})=1466.5 pm 136.6 (r_s/r_s^{rm fid})$ and $H(z_{rm eff})=105.8 pm 16 (r_s^{rm fid}/r_s) mathrm{km,s^{-1},Mpc^{-1}}$, where $r_s$ is the sound horizon at the end of the baryon drag epoch and $r_s^{rm fid}$ is its value in the fiducial cosmology at an effective redshift $z_{rm eff}=0.72$. These results are in full agreement with the current $Lambda$-Cold Dark Matter ($Lambda$-CDM) cosmological model inferred from Planck measurements. This study is the first eBOSS LRG full-shape analysis i.e. including Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD) simultaneously with the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) effect and the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale.
