In La Liga, Espanyol pulled off a stunning one nil victory over Real Madrid, who missed an opportunity to move four points clear at the top of the league.

Real thought they had taken the lead in the first half when Vinicius Jr curled beautifully into the far corner, but Kylian Mbappe was deemed to have committed a foul in the build-up.

Rodrygo came closest to breaking the deadlock but his effort came off the post and minutes later, Joan Garcia made his best save when he tipped Mbappe’s effort wide as it arrowed towards the far corner.

After soaking up huge amounts of pressure, the home side caught Carlo Ancelotti’s team on the counter and Carlos Romero slotted beyond Thibaut Courtois at the back post.

Espanyol held firm to hand Real Madrid their third defeat of the season and end a four-game winning streak.

Second-placed Atletico Madrid enjoyed a 2-0 home win over Mallorca to move within a point of Real, who they visit next Saturday in the Madrid derby.
