La Liga brief

FC Barcelona suffered their first league defeat of the season on Saturday. The 'Blaugrana' surrendered a 2-0 lead against Real Sociedad. Lionel Messi and Pedro Rodriguez were on target for Barcelona in the first half.

Sociedad stunned the Copa Del Rey champions an equaliser after Gerard Pique had been sent off. The hosts went ahead to claim all the three points at stake with a 3-2 win.

Real Madrid reduced Barceolna's lead to 15 points after a win over Valencia. The away tie was expected to be a difficult one for Jose Mourinho's men, but Gonzalo Higuain allayed that fear with a 9th minute strike.

The Argentine international missed a glorious chance to score two minutes earlier. Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria scored a brace each to make it 5-0 at half time. The second half ended with a goal.

Meanwhile, the two sides will clash at mid-week for the return leg of the Copa Del Rey quarter final.
