Despite the fact that their fans were not exactly as supportive as they used to be, Real Madrid successfully defeated a 10-man Real Sociedad to reassert their grip on LaLiga’s title race with a 3-0 victory.

Just one win in five matches across all competitions before this match, and getting thrown out of the Copa Del Rey by Celta Vigo had resulted in the barracking from the stands for the league leaders, with captain Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo sounding pre-match calls for unity.

The calls fell on deaf ears and dropped points for nearest rivals Barcelona and Sevilla earlier on Sunday did nothing to help bring about a feel-good factor in the capital, as the visitors began with the confidence expected of a side boasting eight wins from their past 11 league outings.

Cristiano Ronaldo was forced to shrug off further cat calls before setting up Mateo Kovacic for his first Liga goal of the season in delightful fashion.

It was then the other way round in the 51st minute when Ronaldo produced a finish to match an assist of the highest quality.

Inigo Martinez earned a second booking that had been very much on the cards 16 minutes from time, leaving substitute Alvaro Morata to confirm a four-point lead at the summit.
