Real Madrid Continue 100% Start And Return To The Top1 min read
Real Madrid came from behind to extend their 100% start to the season to five games with a 2-1 win against Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Former Newcastle and Stoke striker Joselu was their hero, rising at the far post to head home Fran Garcia’s cross on the hour.
After netting five times in his first four games for his new club, Jude Bellingham’s phenomenal scoring run came to an end.
Bellingham’s best chance came in stoppage time as he rose to meet Brahim Diaz’s cross only for Alex Ramiro to make an excellent save.
However, the England man was pivotal in Real Madrid clawing their way back into the game after they had suffered the shock of conceding in the fifth minute.
On-loan Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga couldn’t keep out Ander Barrenetxea’s second effort after he had pushed the first back to the visiting forward.
Sociedad had gone 46 league matches without defeat since they last lost after leading at the break, but once Federico Valverde had levelled with a powerful shot from the edge of the area a minute after the resumption, it was always likely to be an uphill battle to preserve that record.
