Real Madrid overcame all-time rivals Barcelona with a 3-1 win at the Bernabeu to go three points clear at the top of LaLiga on Sunday, reports ESPN.

The current LaLiga champions went into an early 2-0 lead through French striker Karim Benzema and Federico Valverde before a Ferran Torres goal started a Barca fightback in the later part of the match.

The result compounded a miserable week for Barca coach Xavi Hernandez who saw his side lose ground in the league title race after slipping to a disappointing Champions League draw in midweek.

Madrid remain unbeaten in LaLiga this season and go top with 25 points with Barca in second place on 22 points.
