Mariano needed treatment after final whistle after landing awkwardly near the halfway line, but the striker didn't seem too badly hurt.

We'll be back for Barcelona's game at home to Alaves later on. Hope to see you all then!

Bye for now.

What a breathless finale that was!

Real return to the top of La Liga but they were given a run for their money by Elche, who will be disappointed to emerge empty-handed.

The visitors are hanging on a little here though.

Elche win a corner but they take it short and lose possession.

Mariano strides forward but scuffs a low effort off target.

Four minutes added on at the end of the second half.

Eden Hazard and Eduardo Camavinga are on for the final few moments.

Vinicius Jr and Luka Modric make way.

The impressive Lucas Boye, Omar Mascarell and Fidel come off.

Tete Morente, Ivan Marcone and Pere Milla enter the fray.

Elche are about to make a triple substitution.

Toni Kroos fires a rasping effort straight at Kiko Casilla.

Elche's heads have dropped. It's going to be a long final few minutes for the hosts.

Marco Asensio now has a shot blocked by an Elche defender.

Real are looking to add further gloss to the scoreline.

Two more changes - this time for the hosts.

Lucas Perez comes off for Dario Benedetto and Gerard Gumbau enters the fray for Javier Pastore.

The hosts are down to ten men.

Raul Guti floors Toni Kroos with an overzealous challenge and the referee brandishes a second yellow card.

The Elche midfielder protests his innocence, but the decision stands.

More last-gasp defending from Real as Johan Mojica's low cross is flicked on by David Alaba before being turned behind by Marcelo.

Lucas Perez was inches away from getting a touch.

The ball falls to Lucas Boye, who turns Eder Militao and gets a shot off but the Real centre-back gets a last-ditch block in. Brilliant defending.

Dani Carvajal is about to come on for the visitors.

Vinicius Jr wants a free-kick after being dispossessed near the right corner of the area by Hibelton Palacios, but the referee waves play on.

Eden Hazard is among the Real substitutes warming up on the touchline.

We could be seeing a Real change or two in the next few minutes.
