WATCH: Real Madrid see lead cut in half as Real Sociedad score from the penalty spot | OneFootball

Real Madrid are on course to make it four wins from four in La Liga, but they have seen their lead cut in half by Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena.

Xabi Alonso’s side made a fast start in Donostia-San Sebastian when Kylian Mbappe set up Arda Guler to score, but the Frenchman was adjudged to have been offside in the build-up. However, he was not denied for long as he was released in behind following a terrible pass from La Real midfielder Mikel Goti, and with only Alex Remiro to beat, he made no mistake – as expected.

But just beyond the half hour mark, Real Madrid were reduced to 10 men, and it was a second dismissal in his short Los Blancos career for Dean Huijsen. The Spain international, signed from Bournemouth in the summer, was adjudged to have been the last man when he fouled Mikel Oyarzabal.

But despite the man disadvantage, Real Madrid made it 2-0. Mbappe did wonderfully well on the left, and his cutback was turned down by Guler, who was not to be denied his goal. However, La Real have got a goal back 12 minutes into the second half courtesy of Oyarzabal from the penalty spot.

Dani Carvajal can have no complaints about the handball given against him, and it has now given La Real a chance to earn a positive result against Real Madrid – who have half an hour to hang on.
