That win lifts Real Madrid above Barcelona and up to second in the La Liga table.

It's Girona at the top, they beat Villarreal 2-1 to continue their remarkable start to the season.

This is where I leave you but there is plenty more football to stay across tonight - you can follow all the Carabao Cup action here.

Thanks for joining us, goodbye!

The full-time whistle goes and Real Madrid get back to winning ways.

It took a while for the first goal to come but once it did, the result was never in doubt. About as comfortable a second half as they could have hoped for.

Antonio Rudiger uses his strength to muscle Cristian Herrera off the ball as he burst into the box.

That cold well be the last 'chance' gone for Las Palmas.

Just the three minutes added on. No surprise, there have been very few stoppages outside of the substitutions.

The game is drifting towards its conclusion now. It's almost job done for Real Madrid.

Rodrygo gets in behind the Las Palmas defence down the right, he tries to pick out Vinicius Junior in the middle but Julian Araujo is alert to it and intercepts.

Real Madrid are in cruise control now, this one looks to be all over bar the shouting.

Hwever, the three points will not be enough to send them top as it stands. That's because Girona have come from behind to lead Villarreal 2-1.

The first booking of the game goes to Saul Coco as he is slightly late in the challenge and ends up standing on Federico Valverde's foot.

That's a painful one.

Decent chance for Las Palmas as they play a short corner before swinging the ball into the box.

Eric Curbelo glances it wide but had he left it, Saul Coco was behind him with a great chance.

It's going to be a night off for Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric.

Carlo Ancelotti makes his fourth and fifth subs of the game, sending on Fran Garcia and Toni Kroos for Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga.

With the game being payed a a snail's pace, Aurelien Tchouameni decides to increase the tempo and surges forward before dragging his shot just wide of the post.

Another shot on target for Las Palmas but Kirian Rodriguez takes it from more than 25 yards out and it's straight at Kepa.

It's Real Madrid's turn to have a spell of possession but they try to be a little bit too intricate on the edge of the box and lose the ball.

Las Palmas break and Jonathan Viera has a decent effort from just outside the area, saved and held by Kepa but that's a first shot on target for the visitors.

Carlo Ancelotti is out to the edge of his technical area, urging Real Madrid forward. He doesn't want them sitting back too much.

They heed his advice and Eduardo Camavinga drives forward and slips the ball through to Rodrygo.

He didn't quite time the run and the offside flag goes up. His effort was saved by Alvaro Valles anyway.

More Las Palmas possession in Real Madrid territory but without creating any real chances.

Jonathan Viera clips in a cross from the left, Munir El Haddadi gets his head on it but it's not the contact he wanted and the ball drifts a long way wide.

Las Palmas are seeing more of the ball now. Real Madrid, with a two-goal advantage, are happy to let them have it.

Kirian Rodriguez tries his luck from long range but the shot is well off target.

Vinicius Junior is sent away down the left and wants to get at his man as he gets into the box.

He twists and turns but can't shake Saul Coco and the shot is blocked.

Just a little glimpse of the threat he poses, though.

Las Palmas had to show more gong forward in this half and they have done, passing the ball around nicely in the final third.

However, the cross from the right is too close to Kepa and he claims it comfortably.

Double change for Real Madrid. Dani Ceballos is coming on for Brahim Diaz, who gets a warm ovation.

But that is nothing compared to the roar for the second substitute, Vinicius Junior comes on for his first appearance since August. Joselu, having got his goal, goes off.
