WATCH: Arda Guler scores as Real Madrid complete first half comeback against Atletico Madrid | OneFootball

Real Madrid are on course to make it seven wins from win in La Liga, as they have taken the lead against Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby at the RiyadhAir Metropolitano, having trailed earlier in the first half.

Atleti have threatened in the opening stages, and Alexander Sorloth wasted a big chance to score the opener as he waited too long to shot, which allowed Eder Militao to make a crucial last man challenge on the Norwegian striker. Despite this, Real Madrid saw their defence breached soon after as Robin Le Normand headed home from close range following a lovely cross from the right by Giuliano Simeone.

However, Real Madrid were not behind for long, despite having been dominated in the minutes after Atleti scored. Arda Guler played Kylian Mbappe in behind, and La Liga’s top scorer made no mistake to make it 1-1.

And 10 minutes later, Real Madrid have completed the first half comeback, and it’s Guler that has netted. Vinicius Junior did brilliantly to find the Türkiye international inside the penalty area, and he finished on the half volley.

It has been a fantastic start to the season for Guler, and his form has now continued in this Madrid derby. So far, he has been the difference maker for Real Madrid with a goal and an assist, and there is plenty of time for him to add to this tally.
