Madrid derby results: Real Madrid have been defeated for the first time this season, with their rivals Atletico Madrid claiming a 3-1 win at the Wanda Metropolitano. 

Former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata inspired his side to the win, after giving them the lead within four minutes of the game. The Spaniard headed the ball into the back of the net, which was followed up by Antoine Griezmann as the home team went 2-0 up. 

Toni Kroos was able to produce a brilliant finish to send his side into the tunnel 2-1, in spite of not playing up to the mark.

Morata scored a second goal shortly after the second half began to make it 3-1 and restore his side’s lead. The Spaniard now has five goals in LaLiga this season, resulting in a brilliant start to the season for the forward. 

Real Madrid replaced Luka Modric with Joselu at half time to try and convert their chances. But, they were poor throughout the game as a furious Carlo Ancelotti watched on from the sidelines. 

Atletico Madrid could have had four goals to their name in the Madrid derby, but they were denied by the crossbar. They also kept Jude Bellingham quiet throughout the game, with the Englishman staying anonymous throughout the match. 

The Rojiblancos have climbed to 5th place with 10 points from five games while Real Madrid sit in third with 15 points, one point behind their rivals Barcelona who top the table with 16 points from 6 games played.
