Real wins to keep the top spot

MADRID - Real Madrid extended its dominance over city rival Atletico and maintained its one-point lead at the top of La Liga when Ricardo Carvalho and Mesut Ozil scored in a comfortable 2-0 home win on Sunday.

Barcelona had moved two points clear with a 3-1 success at Getafe, Lionel Messi, David Villa and Pedro netting for the champion, before Jose Mourinho's Real snuffed out Atletico's bid for a first Madrid derby win in more than a decade.

Real has 26 points from 10 games, Barca is second on 25 and Villarreal, which fought back from a goal down at home to beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1, third on 23.
