  1. CLOSE!published at 47 mins

    Real Madrid 2-0 Leganes

    Bale breaks into the Leganes area with Cristiano Ronaldo screaming for the ball. Bale's looking for his hat-trick and is not listening. He pulls the trigger...and the keeper saves. Bale doesn't dare to look at Ronaldo's reaction.

    Rhys Lewis: Earliest kick-off was 11.15 Everton at Man City in 2005/6. It was that odd even Danny Mills scored a screamer.

    Surely one of the most bizarre stories of the weekend in Europe...

    Montpellier defender Mathieu Deplagne appealed for help after losing a tooth on the pitch during his side's victory over Marseille.

    Deplagne, 25, was hurt late in Friday's Ligue 1 game and was substituted.

    The late game between Sevilla and Barcelona (19:45 GMT) has all the ingredients to be a belter.

    Sevilla have made a fine start to the season and sit one point behind second-placed Barca.

    Home advantage could make all the difference, with Sevilla winning the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season.

  6. Atletico blow chance to go toppublished at 11:56 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2016

    Good weekend so far for Real. Not so for neighbours Atletico Madrid, who missed a chance to go top of La Liga as former Arsenal forward Carlos Vela inspired Real Sociedad to a third straight league win on Saturday.

    Mexico international Vela, 27, broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after Gabi had tripped Yuri Berchiche.

    Vela was then brought down in the area by Angel Correa which allowed Willian Jose to double the lead.

    Atletico are fourth in the table with 21 points from 11 games.

    Real Madrid 2-0 Leganes

    Shortly before Bale scored his second, Leganes had gone close through Alexander Szymanowski. Bale appeared to be shoved in the back in the build up before the Leganes player let fly from distance.

    Real's players were angry play was not stopped as Bale appeared injured and keeper Kaylor Navas squared up to Szymanowski before the referee intervened.

    Bale got up and dusted himself down before scoring his second of the game.

    Real Madrid 2-0 Leganes

    Gareth Bale strikes again!

    He pounces from close range after a free-kick into the area is nodded into his path.

    Suddenly, Bale is on a hat-trick. Suddenly, Real are cruising after a poor start. Suddenly, Leganes have gone to pieces at the back.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 42 mins

    Real Madrid 1-0 Leganes

    That goal was cruel on Leganes, who have limited their opponents to just a handful of chances.

    Real have their tales up but another attack is halted when Pablo Insua brings down Alvaro Morata. Out comes the yellow card.

    New contract, same old Gareth Bale.

    The Wales forward produces a rare moment of class in a poor game to fire home from an angle after a wonderful long pass by Isco unlocked the Leganes defence.

    Real have their noses in front.

    Jon Ander Serantes was surely expecting one of his busiest days of the season. In reality the Leganes keeper has had very little to do. Real Madrid have been ragged and poor. Interesting half time team talk ahead for Zinedine Zidane.

    All the noise inside the Bernabeu is coming from the travelling Leganes fans.

    They'll be delighted with the way their team has set up and frustrated their illustrious neighbours.

    Still no shots on target by the hosts with around 10 minutes of the first half remaining. Unbelievable.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is not having fun.

    He's already on a booking yet he continues to act like a moody teenager. 

    Lots of arm waving, complaining and shrugging of the shoulders.

    Real are starting to dominate possession but it's very tame.

    Ronaldo and Bale are yet to spark and too many players in white are under performing.

    Leganes have equipped themselves well and are proving difficult to breakdown.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Leganes

    Great chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to open the scoring as the ball drops at his feet inside the area...but he hoofs it over the bar.

    Definitely a case of going for power instead of accuracy there.

    More whistles from the stands but it's got nothing to do with the referee this time.

    Real's passing has been shocking by their usual high standards.

    The home fans have yet to see their side test the Leganes keeper and they are losing patience.

    Zzzzzz....

    No shots on target by either side. This is a snooze-fest.

    Real's fans come to life as Cristiano Ronaldo is booked for dissent after complaining at being fouled. Jeers echo around the Bernabeu.

    Zinedine Zidane took his side go-karting in the build up to this game but his players have started in the slow lane here.

    Even Gareth Bale's passing is off the radar.

    Credit to Leganes. They will be delighted they have stifled a team that has scored 50 times in the last 16 games.
