Los Blancos Run Riot at Santiago Bernabéu As They Beat Sociedad by Three Goals

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Real Madrid are now eight points clear at the top of the La Liga standings.

Los Blancos beat Real Sociedad 4-1, to extend their lead over Sevilla and to give them a major boost going into their UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

The game started off very cagey, with both teams giving the ball away without doing too much with it.

Sociedad then got the dream start as they were handed a penalty at the 8th-minute mark. Dani Carvajal was guilty of a clumsy tackle on David Silva, which gave Mikel Oyarzabal the chance to put his side ahead.

The winger didn’t waste his chance and Sociedad led early against Los Blancos. Sociedad then pushed for a second and looked the more threatening side for a lot of the first half.
