THAT'S ALL FROM ME!
Right, what a game! If you missed any of it, catch up on our full report here. Enjoy the rest of your evening and thanks for joining me!
21:58
REAL'S FORM
So Real go back to the top of La Liga, over-taking Barcelona, with that win. They've won six out of six in the leagues, despite not keeping a clean sheet as of yet! For Atleti, that is a second defeat of the season
21:57
A STROKE OF LUCK
It didn't make much difference in the end, but here's the Hermoso goal. I'm not sure he knew much about it!
End of 2nd Half

FULL-TIME: ATLETICO MADRID 1-2 REAL MADRID
Los Blancos have done it! That got a bit tougher than perhaps it should have been, but Real have now won nine out of nine. They're the only team in Europe's top divisions to have done it.

ADDED TIME
We're well into four minutes of added time

RED CARD!
Hermoso goes from hero to villain! He picks up another yellow card for an off the ball shove on Ceballos. So naive!

IT'S BOILING OVER
Carvajal gets booked for a poor foul, Hermoso reacts and gets a yellow himself, and then we end up with 10 or 15 man scrum

ATLETI PUSHING
There's not long left. Can the hosts find an equaliser? They're seeing plenty of the ball as Real are sitting deep

TWO REAL SUBS
A couple more changes for the visitors - Dani Ceballos replaces Toni Kroos, while Rodrygo makes way for Asensio

GOAL! ATLETICO 1-2 REAL MADRID
Well, that's come from absolutely nowhere! A corner into the box causes problems once more, and it just hits Hermoso on the shoulder and goes in. Courtois came for the ball and got nowhere near it again. They're back in it!

Whatever Atleti do, it's not hurting Real, who are defensively so well drilled

VALVERDE CLATTERS OVER
25-yards out, and about the same distance over the bar

GRIEZMANN STILL ON
I have to say, I'm surprised Griezmann hasn't been given the hook yet. It's not that he's playing badly, I just don't see the point in him still being on the field given the situation around how many minutes he plays. Atleti are highly unlikely to get back into this, so they may as well keep some time in the bank!

DOUBLE ATLETI SUB
Carrasco comes off, with Mario Hermoso on, while Angel Correa replaces Koke

REAL DEFENDING WELL
Atleti have had so much of the ball, but they've barely done anything with it. Real are keeping them at an arm's length expertly
68'
KOKE LUCKY?
Should this have been more than a yellow card?

ATLETI BUILDING UP A HEAD OF STEAM?
The hosts are beginning to find some momentum here. They've had some corners and free-kicks in dangerous positions, though as yet done nothing with them
