Real Madrid returned to the top of La Liga table as they put four past Granada away from home.
Goals from Marco Asensio and Nacho gave Carlo Ancelotti’s side an early lead, but Granada’s Luis Suarez pulled a goal back just before half-time to give the hosts a possible lifeline in the tie.
Winger Vinicius Junior restored Los Blancos’ two-goal advantage shortly after the restart with Monchu receiving his marching orders for the hosts in the 67th minute, forcing the side to play with 10 men.
French left-back Ferland Mendy sealed victory for the visitors, adding a fourth after 76 minutes.
Granada’s struggles continue as the loss dropped the team into the bottom three on goal difference, while the win meant Real Madrid climbed above Sevilla and Real Sociedad to the summit of La Liga.
