Real Madrid ended an excellent week, in which they have beaten Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach, with a 2-0 triumph at home to La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.

Real Madrid totally deserved their win after controlling most of the game and creating the majority of the chances against Atletico, who showed their most conservative side and only threatened when they were 2-0 down. 

Casemiro opened the scoring with a 15th minute header following a corner and Real Madrid doubled their lead when Dani Carvajal's shot hit the post and rebounded into the net off the unfortunate Jan Oblak. 

Elsewhere, Xabi Etxeita's 80th minute own goal as he tried to clear a cross gave Sevilla a 1-0 win in a dull game away to Getafe. 

Neither side created clear chances in the 90 minutes, although Sevilla deserved to win and also saw Joan Jordan hit the Getafe crossbar from distance in the first half. 

Valencia and Athletic Bilbao shared four goals in a game the visitors will be frustrated not to have won. 

Carlos Soler put Valencia ahead from the penalty spot, but Asier Villalibre equalized nine minutes into the second half and Raul Garcia looked to have won the game for Athletic with a penalty 10 minutes from time. 

However, an error from Unai Simon in the Athletic goal coupled with some poor marking allowed Manu Vallejo to head home unopposed at the far post just a couple of minutes later. 

Javi Ontiveros' 65th minute goal after cutting in from the left and curling a shot past Fernando Pacheco gave Huesca their first win of the season, while ending Alaves' run of six games without defeat. 

On Friday, Real Valladolid won an entertaining game 3-2 at home to Osasuna, who had led 2-1 at half-time but made significant defensive errors.
