Arda Turan's late winner gave last year's Liga champions a 2-1 win over the Champions League winners in a pulsating Madrid derby.
Euro Sport -- Atletico Madrid secured a magnificent away 1-2 victory to consign their great rivals Real Madrid to their worst start to a league campaign in nine years, leaving manager Carlo Ancelotti under huge pressure.
The visitors took the lead after just 10 minutes when Tiago was left unmarked to head home Koke’s corner delivery. Real Madrid’s vulnerability at set pieces was once again highlighted, they have now conceded three goals in their last two games.
But Ancelotti’s side bounced back on 26 minutes when Ronaldo converted from the penalty spot. The Ballon d’Or winner fell under the challenge of Guilherme Siqueira and he stepped up to net his fourth goal of the season so far.
Real dominated the remainder of the first-half, but looked rather lacklustre in the second period and, inspired by a host of changes, Atletico grabbed all three points when Arda Turin slammed in the winner 14 minutes before time after a clever dummy from Raul Garcia allowed the substitute space and time to slide the ball into the bottom corner.
Atletico now have seven points on the board having won two league matches and drawing one, but the pressure grows on Ancelotti and his team as they trail leaders Barcelona by six points.
In their last league outing, Real let slip a two-goal lead and lost 4-2 at Real Sociedad at the end of August and it was another disappointing display from the European champions, who have just spent heavily to bolster their star-studded squad.
