Robert Lewandowski plundered his 13th and 14th goals of the season as Barcelona ended Real Madrid's 42-game unbeaten LaLiga run with a 4-0 drubbing.
The Poland international opened the scoring with a 54th-minute strike and headed home a second two minutes later before Lamine Yamal and Raphinha struck to complete the scoring.
It proved a barren night for Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe, who was repeatedly caught offside in his first El Clasico and saw a first-half strike ruled out by VAR as the champions failed to make the most of early pressure.
Ayoze came off the bench to lift Villarreal into third place with a 2-1 victory at Real Valladolid after Mamadou Sylla’s penalty had cancelled out Thierno Barry’s opener.
Alaves keeper Antonio Sivera’s own goal handed Rayo Vallecano a 1-0 home win despite playing for 68 minutes with 10 men following defender Abdul Mumin’s first-half dismissal.
The unfortunate Sivera saw Gerard Gumbau’s shot come back off the woodwork and hit him on the back before ricocheting into the net.
Alex Munoz fired Las Palmas to back-to-back league wins when his 42nd-minute goal secured a 1-0 victory over Girona.
