Real Madrid is the only remaining undefeated team in the Spanish top flight after 10 rounds of competitions. The team is currently sitting on top of the league table, two points clear off arch-rivals FC Barcelona and taking care of a three-game winning streak.

Los Blancos routed another newly-promoted club Alaves, 4-1, in their match last Saturday on the road at the Mendizorrotza Stadium, as per The Sun.

Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo unleashed a hat trick to lead head coach Zinedine Zidane's crew in the lopsided victory.

Alaves scored the opening goal in the seventh minute with a surprising strike from Brazilian forward Deyverson. However, it proved to be the only goal of the hosts throughout the game.

Ronaldo began his scoring with a successful penalty kick in the 17th minute to equalize the count. He then grabbed the lead for Real with a booming 25-yard shot in the 33rd minute.

Alvaro Morata then made it a 3-1 game as he scored in the 84th before Ronaldo netted his third of the match with only two minutes left before full-time.

Meanwhile, Leganes dropped its third consecutive game with a 0-2 loss to Real Sociedad at their home ground of Butarque Stadium on Oct. 28, the Business Standard reported.

Willian Jose and Xabi Prieto provided the goals for Sociedad in the 29th and 59th minutes while head coach Asier Garitano's side were shutout for the second straight contest.

With the loss, Leganes has further dropped to the 16th place in the overall standings, only one point above the bottom three relegation zone.
