La Liga Results 2016: Scores and Updated Table After Saturday's Week 8 Matches

Atletico Madrid preserved their place atop La Liga on Saturday after dismantling Granada 7-1 at the Vicente Calderon following Yannick Carrasco's first career hat-trick.

Isaac Cuenca shocked Los Rojiblancos with his early opener in Madrid, but Atleti fired back with a vengeance, and Carrasco bagged three of his own before Nicolas Gaitan followed up with a brace of his own, joined on the scoresheet by Tiago and Angel Correa.

Earlier on Saturday, Sevilla stayed one point ahead of Barcelona after Antonio Sanabria scored late to seal a first away win of the season for manager Jorge Sampaoli's side in their trip to Leganes.
