Los Blancos win 4-1 at Bernabeu and return to top of La Liga

• 

  REAL MADRID RATINGS: Thibaut Courtois 6: The Belgian had to be quick to react to Muriqi’s effort in the first minute, but could do little to stop Muriqi’s header from a tight angle. AFP

• 

  Lucas Vazquez 7: Playing at right-back, Vasquez came incredibly close to putting Madrid in front, with a curling effort going just wide of the post. EPA

• 

  Antonio Rudiger 7: Enjoyed playing on the front foot thanks to Real’s dominance, and had one shot from distance deflected over the crossbar. A perfectly timed run saw the German fire in from a free-kick to make it four at the death. Getty

• 

  David Alaba 7: Comfortable display from defender and sent one lovely pass to Vinicius in the first half. Booked. EPA

• 

  Ferland Mendy 6: The left-back was beaten by Maffeo’s storming run down the wing and he gave away the free-kick which led up to Mallorca’s goal. Booked. AP

• 

  Toni Kroos 7: Playing slightly deeper in midfield, the German shot wide of Rajkovic’s post with a curling effort on the edge of the box. Later, he shot from a similar position straight at Mallorca’s goalkeeper. EPA

• 

  Federico Valverde 7: Put Real Madrid back on level terms with a stunning individual effort with run that started in his own half. Reuters

• 

  Dani Ceballos 7: Tried his luck from distance in the early stages to force a save from Rajkovic. Picked up an assist and generally impressed. EPA

• 

  Rodrygo 8: Fired over after an impressive run from the halfway line before shooting straight at Rajkovic inside theb first half hour. The Brazilian later shrugged off Mallorca’s tackles and, once again, produced a stunning solo effort to put the game to bed. Getty

• 

  Eden Hazard 5: A first start since January after his goal against Celtic, Hazard struggled to get involved and will be disappointed not to make an impression. Getty

• 

  Vinicius Junior 8: Thought he’d found the equaliser with a powerful shot from distance but he could only fire wide of the post. He made up for it when he bagged Madrid’s second. Getty

• 

  SUBS: Luka Modric (On for Hazard 59') 7: Rested for the Champions League, Modric came on for a short stint and wasted no time playing Rodrygo in ahead of Vinicius Junior’s goal. Nacho Fernandez (On for Mendy 59') 6: Moved seamlessly into centre-back, with Alaba moving into left-back. Getty

• 

  Eduardo Camavinga (On for Ceballos 69') 6: Slotted in well and helped Real Madrid keep pressing forward. Getty

• 

  Dani Carvajal (On for Vazquez 71') 6: Another player to be rested but still managed an assist for Rodrygo’s goal. AFP

• 

  MALLORCA RATINGS: Predrag Rajkovic 6: The Serb would have expected to be busy and was equal to Real’s efforts on goal until Valverde found the top corner, leaving him no chance. EPA

• 

  Pablo Maffeo 6: Impressive work on the 34-minute mark saw him dispossess a Real shirt before sprinting forward and forced Valverde into conceding free-kick, which would end up with Mallorca scoring. AP

• 

  Martin Valjent 6: Delivered a sublime pass to Muriqi seconds after kick-off to catch Real Madrid’s defence off-guard. AFP

• 

  Antonio Raillo 5: Booked for an incident with Vinicius Junior in the box which prompted a scuffle between the two. Was a spectator for Rodrygo’s goal. AFP

• 

  Matija Nastasic 5: Booked on his debut in the first half and was left strung out with Real’s trickery, Rodrygo in particular leaving the former Manchester City player chasing his shadow. Getty

• 

  Jaume Costa 5: The experienced left-back was quiet and struggled to make his presence felt on the wing. Getty

• 

  Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta 6: Busy in midfield to try and limit Madrid’s dominance in possession. He put his fair share of tackles in, and there was perhaps no coincidence that Madrid dominated after his substitution. Getty

• 

  Rodrigo Battaglia 5: Allowed Valverde to run straight past him without much of a challenge for Madrid’s equaliser. Looked leggy chasing the play. Getty

• 

  Dani Rodriguez 5: Put his fair share of tackles in but was unable to stop Madrid’s dominance in possession. Getty

• 

  Kang-in Lee 6: The Korean delivered a spot-on free-kick a tight angle to find Muriqi, who headed Mallorca into the lead. EPA

• 

  Vedat Muriqi 7: The Mallorca forward put Courtois into action in the first minute, looping the ball over Rudiger before hitting the ball on the volley at the Belgian. Headed home well to put his team in front. EPA

• 

  SUBS: Iddrisu Baba (On for Battaglia 53’) 6: Straight into the action, Baba was quickly putting in challenges and breaking up play. EPA

• 

  Clement Genier (One for Ruiz de Galarreta 59’) 5: Backed out of a tackle on Rodrygo, which allowed the Brazilian a free run to assist Vinicius Junior's goal. AP

  Antonio Sanchez (On for Rodriguez 59’) 6: Should have done better from six yards when he was fed the ball after good play by Mallorca. Lago Junior (On for Lee 78’) N/A. Abdon Prats (On for Muriqi 78’) N/A. Getty

Real Madrid came from behind to beat Mallorca 4-1 at the Bernabeu in La Liga on Sunday and continue their perfect start to the season.

A solo effort from Federico Valverde on the stroke of half-time levelled the scores after Vedat Muqiri had stunned the home crowd by nodding the visitors ahead.

Vinicius Junior put the hosts in front before Rodrygo and Antonio Rudiger completed the rout.

Carlo Ancelotti's side had started the weekend leading La Liga before Barcelona moved above them on Saturday following a 4-0 win at Cadiz, but this victory took Real Madrid back to the top, two points clear of their old rivals.
