Real Madrid moved five points clear at the top of La Liga with a 2-1 home win over FC Barcelona on Sunday.

First-half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham secured the victory, while Fermin Lopez scored for Barcelona.

Barcelona argued for a foul for a possible elbow by Dean Huijsen in the buildup before Bellingham tapped in the winner, but Mbappe had a chance to make the result more secure when his second-half penalty was saved.

Barcelona struggled to create chances without Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, and with Lamine Yamal below his best. Pedri was sent off for two yellow cards in stoppage time.

Rayo Vallecano also took three points with a 1-0 home win over Deportivo Alaves thanks to Alemao's diving header in the first minute of added time.

Celta claimed its first win of the season with a 3-2 victory away to Osasuna, with Ferran Jutgla scoring twice for Celta and Ante Budimir netting twice for Osasuna.

Budimir had a chance to put Osasuna 3-2 up in the 78th minute but hit his penalty against the bar. Pablo Duran scored Celta's winner after a pass from Iago Aspas in the 87th minute.

Mallorca and Levante drew 1-1, with Etta Eyong extending his scoring run for Levante and Pablo Maffeo equalizing for Mallorca in the 79th minute.
