Gareth Bale, Borja Mayoral Score as Real Madrid Top Real Sociedad

Real Madrid climbed within four points of La Liga leaders Barcelona on Sunday when they defeated Real Sociedad 3-1 at Anoeta Stadium, where Borja Mayoral scored his first goal for the club in an impressive display.

Mayoral broke the deadlock to put Los Merengues ahead before Kevin Rodrigues pulled Sociedad level and then scored an own goal, with Gareth Bale adding a third just past the hour mark.

Despite the win and encouraging play from the youngsters, Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane still has his work cut out for him as his side recover from recent home draws against Valencia and Levante.
