Real Madrid returned to the summit of LaLiga with a come-from-behind 4-1 victory over Real Mallorca on Sunday.
Toni Kroos captained Madrid in the absence of Karim Benzema and Dani Carvajal made his first start of the season as Eden Hazard led the line in his maiden appearance of the campaign too.
It was a flying early seconds for Mallorca where Vedat Muriqi beat Antonio Rudiger to a long ball over the top and produced a thumping save off goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Los Blancos replied to the scare before the half-hour mark when Federico Valverde played a pass from Kroos in for Rodrygo, who then worked the opposite number with a powerful drive.
Mallorca found the opening goal ten minutes to halftime after Muriqi connected with a free-kick and beat Thibaut Courtois with a header at the far post.
Los Blancos pulled themselves level on the stroke of halftime when Valverde worked a clever opening from a pass by Ceballos and fired into the top corner.
Madrid looked to go ahead early in the second half from a move by Hazard and Vinicius Junior, but the Brazilian international was unable to take the delivery in his stride.
Carlo Ancelotti put on a double change over 12 minutes following the break, with Luka Modric in for Hazard before Ferland Mendy vacated for Nacho.
Mallorca were unfortunate not to go ahead moments later where substitute Antonio Sanchez met a pass in space in the area and drilled wide with the goal in plain sight.
The host took the lead inside the last ten minutes after Vinicius received a pass from Rodrygo and leaned wide of target before he executed superbly.
Madrid got the third goal in the when the self-same Rodrygo reversed roles when he collected a ball from Carvajal and scored a superb solo effort.
Rudiger made it four in the final seconds after he nodded in a well-weighted free-kick from Kroos to complete a resounding win.
