The home side were pegged back on the half
hour mark when Alexis Sanchez grabbed an equaliser in his first league
appearance against Madrid.
A Xavi volley took a fortuitous
deflection off Marcelo to give the visitors the lead, before Cesc
Fabregas' header finished off a wonderful team move in the 66th minute
in what proved to be the fixture's final strike.
