Good afternoon, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Real Sociedad v Real Madrid.

FULL TIME. 1-0 to Real Madrid, back to the top of the table. For the time being, anyway. Thanks for your company this evening.

A last ditch chance for Real Sociedad, but the header from Zurutuza is straight at the keeper and easily held.

Bale has now scored eight headed goals this Liga season, three more than any other player. Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo had 12 headed goals.

Final change for Real Madrid - Modric gets a rest, replaced by Kovacic.

The BBC combination have scored 73 Liga goals this campaign, three short of their total from last season (76).

Gareth Bale (19) is now two short of equalling his best goals return for a single league campaign (21 for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League in 2012/13).

GOAL! Finally. Gareth Bale gets his head on Lucas Vazquez's ball in, and Real Madrid take the lead.

Another corner to Real Madrid after Zaldua concedes it.

Bautista replaces Bruma.

*flips coin* *books Modric*

Another chance - James off, replaced by Isco.

Another chance for Bruma from range, but that's stopped.

Free kick (of course) in a central position, and Bruma shapes to shoot. Over the bar.

For both sides. There's not a great deal of danger from any of this.

Just a plethora of fouls and free kicks that come to nothing.

Jese replaces Borja Mayoral.

Might as well rename this a "live booking commentary".
