Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad: Valverde & Joselu complete comeback win

Barrenetxea had given La Real the lead but Madrid fought back after the break

Real Madrid came from behind on Sunday to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 and maintain their 100% record in LaLiga. 

Ander Barrenetxea gave La Real an early lead but second half efforts from Fede Valverde and Joselu earned the three points for Real Madrid. 

Carlo Ancelotti's return to the top of the table, two points clear of Barcelona, who beat Real Betis on Saturday. 

La Real had made a brilliant start at the Bernabeu and led through Ander Barrenetxea. 

They thought they were 2-0 up when Take Kubo's found the net, but the former Madrid player's strike was ruled off due to an offside against Mikel Oyazarbal. 

Madrid pushed for an equaliser, with Joselu hitting the bar, but the visitors made it to the break with the lead. 

It didn't last long, though, with Valverde brilliantly firing home early in the second half after good work from Fran Garcia. 

Joselu then completed the turnaround on the hour mark as Madrid picked up where they left off before the international break.
