Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 on Sunday to continue their perfect run in LaLiga and set a new club record for consecutive wins.
ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan confirmed Los Blancos grabbed their 16th straight win in the Spanish top division:
Zidane’s Madrid now won 16 on bounce in La Liga [inc last season] to equal all-time Primera record by Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in 2010/11.

Ageless wonder Aritz Aduriz saved Athletic Bilbao with a brace in the win over Valencia, and Nicola Sansone guided Villarreal to a win over Real Sociedad.
