Atletico Madrid netted five goals against city rivals Real Madrid for the first time in almost 75 years when they battled back from behind ihn a pulsating derby.
It was only the fourth time Atletico had scored no fewer than five goals in a Madrid derby, the last time being a 6-3 triumph in November 1950.
Real Madrid lost for the first time this season, having won all six of their opening La Liga matches as well as their first Champions League fixture, a 2-1 win over Marseille.
The last time Real conceded as many in La Liga was a 5-1 defeat by Barcelona in October 2018.
Robin le Normand’s header had given Diego Simeone’s team an early lead that was overturned by fantastic goals from Kylian Mbappe and Arda Guler.
But Alexander Sorloth levelled the game at 2-2 in stoppage time at the end of the first half.
And Atletico took charge after the interval when Julian Alvarez converted from the penalty spot before curling home a brilliant free-kick.
Atletico went into their shell, but held their cross-city rivals at bay until Antoine Griezmann grabbed their fifth goal deep into stoppage time.
The result maintained an impressive record against Real in La Liga for Simeone’s side, who have not lost in their past six league encounters with Los Blancos.
