Follow live reaction as Barcelona produced a sublime performance to stun rivals Real Madrid and claim a 4-0 win in El Clasico at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid came into the match well clear at the top of La Liga and 15 points ahead of Barcelona in the table, but the visitors produced their best performance of the season so far under new manager Xavi.
Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice on his first El Clasico appearance with Ferran Torres and Ronald Araujo also on target as Xavi’s side strenthened their Champions League qualification hoeps with a famous win.
Real Madrid, who were missing Karim Benzema, were a shambles defensively but Carlo Ancelotti’s side remain in control of the title race after second-place Sevilla dropped points for the third match in a row earlier on Sunday.

88 mins: Game over! A simple long ball from Hugo Lloris comes up the pitch to Harry Kane. He heads the ball on and plays in Son Heung-min who keeps himself onside. Son drives the ball into the box and coolly sends the ball underneath Lukasz Fabianski to give Spurs all three points.

81 mins: Spurs are stepping it up as the game heads into the last 10 minutes. Reguilon crosses one in from the left side and the ball is nodded down to Son. He shoots from inside the box but Dawson blocks the effort and the ball rolls out to Bentancur. Bentancur lets fly from range but smokes it over the crossbar!

78 mins: It’s good game management from Tottenham. They’ve kept possession well and haven’t allowed West Ham to press them too intensely. They’ve also picked their moments to have a go at goal.
This is one of them. Hojbjerg dinks a nice pass over the top and gets it to Kane in the box. He’s onside, though it’s a close call, and lets the ball bounce before lifting it over the goalkeeper and over the goal!

75 mins: Chance! Sergio Reguilon seems to be the most forward thinking Tottenham player at the minute. He flies down the left side and gets into the box as Dejan Kulusevski gives him the ball. He’s travelling so quickly though that he can’t control the ball and takes his shot off-balance managing to knock it softly into the arms of Lukasz Fabianski.

72 mins: Tottenham are trying to take the sting out of the game by keeping possession and picking their moments to attack. West Ham are working hard off the ball to get it back.

69 mins: Tottenham are forced all the way back to their own penalty box as they look to keep hold of the ball. Ben Davies fires it long and Craig Dawson leaps above Harry Kane to win possession back for the Hammers.

66 mins: Chance! Patient play from Spurs sees them string together a bunch of passes and push up the middle of the pitch. Doherty drifts into space on the right wing and receives the ball from Son. He curls a nice cross to the back post where Reguilon has the jump on Johnson. The Tottenham left-back wins the header but can’t guide his effort at goal and sends it wide.
