Alaves 1-1 Malaga
Malaga came away from Alaves with a point and are still waiting for their first league win. Adrián Niño put Malaga ahead on 44 minutes, set up by Ramón Enríquez, and the lead lasted until the 89th minute, when Aitor Mañas equalised for Alaves.

Federico Redondo converted a penalty on 23 minutes, Fer Niño scored another on 36, and Germán Valera made it 3-0 on 68, set up by Facundo Buonanotte.

Elche's chances were worth 2.40 expected goals to Rayo's 1.23. Javi Morcillo, Redondo and Gonzalo Villar were booked for Elche, Ciss, Adrià Pedrosa and Álvaro García for Rayo. Elche have ten points from ten games. Rayo Vallecano have nine from nine, so they have a game in hand.
Racing Santander 2-1 Espanyol

Villarreal are on 12 points.
Atletico Madrid 1-0 Deportivo La Coruna
Atletico Madrid needed only one goal, and it came early in the second half. Deportivo could not find a reply. Julián Álvarez scored on 48 minutes, set up by Alejandro Grimaldo, and that was enough. It was closer than the scoreline suggests: Deportivo had five shots on target to Atletico's four, and their chances were worth slightly more, 2.28 expected goals to 2.22, although Atletico had 20 shots to 15. Atletico had 56 per cent of the ball and 546 passes at 88 per cent accuracy. Marc Pubill was booked on 26 minutes, and Atletico finished with four yellow cards to Deportivo's two, the others going to Alexander Sørloth, Álex Baena and Giuliano Simeone, with Yeremay Hernández and Giacomo Quagliata booked for the visitors.

Getafe were down to ten men from the 86th minute, when Mario Martín was shown a red card. The shot count was close, 11 to seven, and the chances were worth 0.70 expected goals to 0.35, but Athletic had 63 per cent of the ball, 588 passes at 88 per cent accuracy and four shots on target to one. Ramón Terrats, Daniel Carvajal and Johan Mojica were booked for Getafe, Beñat Gerenabarrena for Athletic. Athletic have 12 points from nine games, so they have a game in hand. Getafe are on nine points from ten.
Celta Vigo 0-0 Real Betis
Neither side could find a goal, and the draw was Celta Vigo's sixth in ten league games, more than any other club. Real Betis had 56 per cent of the ball, 651 passes at 91 per cent accuracy and 15 shots to 12, with 1.07 expected goals to Celta Vigo's 0.80, but Celta had four shots on target to two. The first half brought bookings for Ilaix Moriba of Celta and Diego Llorente of Betis, and Sergio Carreira was cautioned for Celta on 80 minutes. Both sides made changes around the hour, Celta bringing on Williot Swedberg and Betis Pablo Fornals and Troy Parrott. The point leaves Betis fourth on 20 points, with six wins, two draws and two defeats. Celta have 12 points from ten games, with two wins, six draws and two defeats.
Real Sociedad 2-1 Levante
Real Sociedad scored twice in the first half hour and then saw the game out. Orri Óskarsson put Real Sociedad ahead on six minutes, Nacho Pérez equalised for Levante soon after, set up by Thiago Fernández, and Beñat Turrientes restored the lead on 27 minutes, set up by Gonçalo Guedes. There was no more scoring. Sociedad had 62 per cent of the ball, 615 passes at 92 per cent accuracy, 17 shots to six and 2.96 expected goals to 0.75, yet only three of their shots were on target to Levante's two.

Levante have ten points from ten games, with two wins.
Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid won the Clásico, and Kylian Mbappé decided it. He put Madrid ahead on 41 minutes, Raphinha equalised from a corner on 61, set up by Pedri, and Mbappé scored the winner on 87, set up by Eduardo Camavinga. It was Barcelona's first league defeat of the season. The numbers say the hosts were the better side for long spells, with 18 shots to 10, 62 per cent of the ball, 640 passes to 380 and 139 attacks to 73, though Real Madrid's chances were worth slightly more, 1.95 expected goals to 1.64. Each side was booked three times, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Marc Cucurella and Mbappé for Madrid, Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi and Alejandro Balde for Barcelona. Barcelona stay top on 27 points, three clear of third-placed Real Madrid on 24.
Sevilla 2-0 Osasuna
