Emilio Nsue gave the visitors an early lead but Gonzalo Higuain levelled, before Alejandro Alfaro put Gregorio Manzano's side in front again before half-time.Two first-half goals by Antoine Griezzmann and one from Imanol Agirretxe set the Basques on their way to victory, and Xabi Prieto rounded off the win when he netted shortly after the re-start.Javi Guerra scored a late consolation goal for the visitors in the final stages of the game but it was little use to Miroslav Djukic's side.Valencia remain just two points behind Sociedad after Roberto Soldado's penalty helped earn a 3-0 victory over top four rivals 10-man Real Betis.Valencia did suffer a concern in the early stages of the second half when star striker Soldado had to be substituted due to injury.But Betis substitute Paulao's own goal and Jonas' late strike in the final five minutes ensured there was no comeback.
Two smart substitutions by Madrid coach Jose Mourinho at the break gave Los Blancos the lift they needed and goals by Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Higuain and Karim Benzema in the second half gave a dominant Madrid the three points.
