Real's rivals Barcelona play on Sunday against Sevilla, but for 24 hours at least Xabi Alonso's side sit top of the pile in Spain after an efficient, if not exactly dazzling display at the Bernabeu on Saturday evening."
"After a goalless first half, Vinicius Jr scored twice after the break - the second from the penalty spot - before Villarreal pulled one back through Georges Mikautadze with a fine strike.
