Robert Lewandowski nets a double as Barcelona thrash Real Madrid in El Clasico

The Poland international opened the scoring with a 54th-minute strike and headed home a second two minutes later before Lamine Yamal and Raphinha struck to complete the scoring.

It proved a barren night for Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe, who was repeatedly caught offside in his first El Clasico and saw a first-half strike ruled out by VAR as the champions failed to make the most of early pressure.

Ayoze came off the bench to lift Villarreal into third place with a 2-1 victory at Real Valladolid after Mamadou Sylla's penalty had cancelled out Thierno Barry's opener.

Alaves keeper Antonio Sivera's own goal handed Rayo Vallecano a 1-0 home win despite playing for 68 minutes with 10 men following defender Abdul Mumin's first-half dismissal.

The unfortunate Sivera saw Gerard Gumbauâ™s shot come back off the woodwork and hit him on the back before ricocheting into the net.

Alex Munoz fired Las Palmas to back-to-back league wins when his 42nd-minute goal secured a 1-0 victory over Girona.
