Madrid, Oct. 27 -- Real Madrid moved five points clear at the top of La Liga with a 2-1 home win over FC Barcelona on Sunday.

First-half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham secured the victory, while Fermin Lopez scored for Barcelona.

Barcelona argued for a foul for a The ible elbow by Dean Huijsen in the buildup before Bellingham tapped in the winner, but Mbappe had a chance to make the result more secure when his second-half penalty was saved.

Barcelona struggled to create chances without Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, and with Lamine Yamal below his best. Pedri was sent off for two yellow cards in stoppage time.

Rayo Vallecano also took three points with a 1-0 home win over Deportivo Alaves thanks to Alemao's diving header...
