Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga to five points after beating Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at San Mames Stadium on Saturday. Los Blancos have now piled the pressure on rivals Barcelona to keep pace in the title race.
Madrid's win came on a day when Copa del Rey finalists Alaves beat Real Sociedad, with the latter missing out on the chance to move above Villarreal and go fifth. Real Betis also won to heap more misery on bottom side Osasuna.
The day began with Espanyol battling back to earn a point in Eibar.
