Atletico were rock solid in defense and if they continue like this they are clear candidates for the title this season, especially after seeing Diego Costa sitting in the stands. The Spain international can't play until January, but Atletico fans will be licking their lips at the thought of him forming a partnership with Griezmann, who looks back to his best after a slow start to the campaign.

3. Madrid shouldn't worry about goal drought

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane commented on Friday that he was not worried with the problems his side are having in scoring goals. "I would be worried," he commented, "if we were playing badly and not creating chances."

Madrid wasted a hatfull of chances in their 2-1 win away to bottom of the table Alaves and in the end only won because their rivals hit the post on two occasions, but Zidane could take comfort that the chances fell thick and fast and were it not for Alaves keeper, Fernando Pacheco, they would have won by a bigger margin.

Dani Ceballos, hardly a prolific goalscorer, did the job for Madrid with more goals in one game than he netted all last season for Betis, but his performance shows that Madrid have enough options in front of goal and that if they continue to play well, the goals will come.

4. Ziganda still to get it right with Athletic Club

On another day Athletic Club Bilbao fans would have been pleased with a 3-3 draw away to Malaga, but after seeing how they surrendered a 3-1 lead in 8 minutes against a side that was down to 10, the result was more a cause for concern than celebration.
