Real Madrid went top of La Liga after beating Espanyol 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. Los Blancos, who have played a game more than champions Barcelona, in action tomorrow, took the lead for good through rising star Marco Asensio.
Real's city rivals Atletico Madrid sit fifth after racing into a two-goal lead in Getafe. The visitors were helped in seeing things out when Ivan Alejo was shown a straight red card.
Celta Vigo are still fourth, even after sharing six goals during a draw with Valladolid at Abanca-Balaidos. There was only one goal separating Eibar and bottom side Leganes, but the former got it courtesy of Kike Garcia.
