  Iker Casillas

  Had to be sharp to deny Tamudo on three separate occasions, but was disappointed to concede Arbeloa's own goal that denied him a clean sheet.

•

  3.00

  Ricardo Carvalho

  Sometimes allowed Tamudo too much space, but wasn't overly stretched, and enjoyed a well-earned rest when replaced by Raul Albiol in the second half.

  3.00

  Arbeloa

  Nullified the threat of Griezmann, but was unfortunate that the ball cannoned off his body and looped over Casillas for an unfortunate own goal.

  3.50

  Ezequiel Garay

  Given his first league start of the season and gave a solid, assured display alongside Carvalho in the heart of Madrid's back line.

  Mesut Özil

  Another evening of gorgeous touched from the German, whose timing of the pass was impeccable. Set up Ronaldo's goal with dangerous corner.

  3.50

  Kaká

  Opened the scoring with a beautiful curling shot that found the corner, then linked well with Ronaldo to create a goal for the Portuguese. A good display from the Brazilian playmaker.

  Lassana Diarra

  Preferred to Sami Khedira in the centre and gave the side strength, consistently winning the ball back and distributing it to good effect.

•

  Marcelo

  Always made himself available in the final third, and although was on occasion susceptible defensively, produced a solid performance on his comeback to the team.

•

  3.50

  Cristiano Ronaldo Top of the Match

  Shrugged off his recent goal drought to net a brilliant low shot, and then add a thumping header. Sociedad simply could not deal with him at times.

•

  3.50

  Emmanuel Adebayor

  Slightly rusty for much of the match, with passes tending to bounce off the striker, but worked hard and was awarded with his late goal.

•

  3.50

  Xabi Alonso

  Produced a controlled display from the centre of the pitch, and rarely surrendered possession throughout the ninety minutes. Neat and tidy play from the Spanish international.

Substitutions

  Ángel Di María

  Came on in the second half and looked sharp, running at Sociedad whenever possible.

  2.00

  Raúl Albiol Tortajada

  Came on in the second half, but did not look comfortable, and hopelessly misjudged ball into the area that led to Sociedad's consolation.

  Canales

  A late cameo for the 19 year old.

  Claudio Bravo

  Made a few decent saves but was completely helpless for all four goals and was not helped out by his defenders.

  2.50

  Mikel Labaka

  Couldn't cope at all with the pace of Ronaldo coming in from his flank, and at times was turned inside out by the pace of the Portuguese.

  3.00

  Zurutuza

  Attempted to get forward and support Tamudo whenever possible, and was able to deliver some decent deliveries into the area, but were not converted.

  3.00

  Xabi Prieto

  The classy playmaker always looked comfortable on the ball and kept possession well, but could not stamp as much authority on the match as he is used to doing, and faded as the game progressed.

  2.50

  Antoine Griezmann

  The exciting Frenchman did not enjoy one of his best evenings, and was never in the match. Replaced in the second half.

•

  3.00

  Raúl Tamudo

  Forced Casillas into two saves in the first half from close range, and it was his vicious volley that led to Arbeloa's own goal that gave la Real a consolation.

  Ion Gorostola Flop of the Match

  Didn't enjoy the physical presence of Adebayor, and struggled to keep tabs on the big striker as he dropped off to get involved in the play.

•

  2.50

  Mikel González Martínez

  Too often left exposed by his midfield protectors as the likes of Ronaldo and Kaka burst through to create chances, and was often helpless to stop Madrid bursting through.

•

  8

  2.50

  Gorka Gorka Elustondo Urkiola

  Couldn't get involved in the match positively due to the dominance of the hosts, and spent more time in his own half of the pitch attempting to win back possession, to no avail.

  Jeffrey Sarpong

  Added an injection of pace to the team in the second half.

  2.50

  Dani Estrada

  Allowed the Madrid front players far too much space to create opportunities, with both Kaka and Ronaldo coming off his flank to score in the first half.

Substitutions

  2.50

  Diego Rivas Gutiérrez

  The central midfielder was completely outfought and outplayed by the duo of Xabi Alonso and Lassana Diarra, and was unsurprisingly replaced in the second half.
