Real Madrid beat Barcelona in a new-look El Clasico to briefly go top of La Liga and leave Ronald Koeman's side down in eighth in the table.

It was the very first Clasico without Barca Legend Lionel Messi or Real icon Sergio Ramos - who both joined Paris St-Germain in the summer - since 2004.

David Alaba started and finished a counter-attack for the first, which was his first goal in a Madrid shirt and Lucas Vazquez got a second in added time.

Sergio Aguero scored his first Barca goal but it was almost the last kick.

Alaba's goal was the best of the game. The former Bayern Munich defender won the ball from Barca striker Memphis Depay on the edge of his box before starting a counter-attack.

He finished it off by running on to Rodrygo's pass before slamming a shot across home keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen into the far corner.

The final two goals came in injury time with Vazquez tapping in after Marco Asensio's shot was saved by Ter Stegen.

Substitute Aguero tapped in Sergino Dest's cross, in what was only Barcelona's second shot on target, but the final whistle went seconds later.

Madrid ended the day one point behind Real Sociedad at the top after the Basque side drew Sunday's late game 2-2 with Atletico Madrid.
