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 derby win in more than a decade.
Real has 26 points from 10 games, Barcelona is second on 25 and Villarreal, which fought back from a goal down at home to beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1, third on 23.
Espanyol is in fourth after its 1-0 win over visiting Malaga on Saturday and Valencia can move above it with a win at Sevilla yesterday.
The Madrid derby was potentially Real's first genuine test of the season after it had swatted aside mostly mid- to lower-table opposition in its previous matches of the campaign.
However, Atletico strikers Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero saw too little of the ball and wingers Jose Antonio Reyes and Simao threatened only rarely down the flanks.
After his Portugal defensive partner Pepe had gone close with a header at a packed Bernabeu stadium, Carvalho burst through from the back to fire Real ahead in the 13th minute.
German international Ozil, a firm favorite with the Real faithful following his move from Werder Bremen, then bamboozled Atletico goalkeeper David De Gea with a low, swerving free kick to the right to make it 2-0.
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund opened a four-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga with a crushing 4-0 win at Hanover 96 on Sunday, its sixth consecutive away victory.
The result gave the leader 28 points from 11 games, four ahead of Mainz 05 which slumped to a 0-1 defeat at SC Freiburg on Saturday. Bayer Leverkusen moved up to third on 21 after beating Kaiserslautern 3-1.
