Real Madrid have successfully overtaken Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table after sealing a 1-0 victory over Espanyol on Sunday.
The Madrid giants who started the day a point behind Barca, moved two points clear of their rivals, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo over the weekend.
A goal by Casemiro assisted by Karim Benzema just before half time was enough to secure all three points for Real at Espanyol.
