Video ⬇ Lucas Pérez and Joselu struck in the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano to secure a historic win for Alavés and condemn Real Madrid to a second defeat in three games and place the defending champions’ title defence under serious doubt after just 11 weeks of LaLiga action.

The visitors were well-organized and took full advantage of Madrid’s high defensive line to place Thibaut Courtois’ goal under siege. The Belgium stopper made a horrible error of judgment to hand Alavés their second goal but had it not been for the keeper the score might have been considerably higher in favour of Pablo Machín’s side.
Madrid’s makeshift back line was carved open again and again by the swift incursions of Luis Rioja, Pérez and Joselu, who took full advantage of the lack of cohesion in a defensive line shorn of Sergio Ramos.

Casemiro threw the home side a lifeline late on when he stabbed home a rebound from substitute Vinicius’ effort and Isco clipped the bar with the final kick of the game but Alavés held on to boost themselves up to eighth in the division.
