Real Madrid moved above Barcelona at the top of LaLiga after Sergio Ramos made another slice of history in their 2-1 win over Real Sociedad.
Ramos became the top scoring defender in the history of LaLiga as he converted from the penalty spot to put Real ahead with his 68th league goal.
The three points moved Real Madrid level with Barcelona in what is turning out to be an enthralling title race, with Los Blancos going above their arch rivals due to the head-to-head record between the two.

Following a goalless first half the deadlock was broken five minutes after the interval when Vinicius Junior was nudged over in the area by Diego Llorente.
Ramos stepped up to calmly sidefoot home the spot-kick and become the highest-scoring defender in LaLiga history with 68 goals.
Ramos limped off shortly afterwards but Karim Benzema added the second with 20 minutes remaining, and although Mikel Merino pulled one back the visitors secured a 2-1 victory to move behind Barca on goal difference again.
Celta Vigo eased their relegation fears with a 6-0 thrashing of 10-man Alaves.
Jeison Murillo headed the hosts in front in the 14th minute before Iago Aspas doubled the lead from the penalty spot.
Things went downhill for Alaves after Martin Aguirregabiria was shown a straight red card in the 27th minute and Rafinha scored twice in two minutes before the break to make it 4-0.
Nolito marked his Celta return by adding the fifth from the spot and then teed up Santi Mina to complete the scoring four minutes from full time.
First-half goals from Goncalo Guedes and Rodrigo gave Valencia a 2-0 win at home to Osasuna.
