Real Madrid remain perfect through four La Liga games after getting past Real Sociedad on the road, but their latest victory was achieved without Dean Huijsen for an hour after he was shown a controversial red card.

Referee Jesús Gil Manzano ran over to show Huijsen a red card—a decision which was met with incredulity by Xabi Alonso and his staff in the technical area.
