MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid has cruised to a 4-1 win over 10-man Granada to reclaim first place in the Spanish league. Marco Asensio, Nacho Fernández, Vinícius Júnior and Ferland Mendy scored a goal each to give Madrid its fourth straight victory in all competitions. Carlo Ancelotti’s team reached 30 points from 13 league matches. That’s one more point than second-place Real Sociedad which was held to a 0-0 draw at home against Valencia. The victory extended Madrid’s unbeaten streak to seven matches in all competitions ahead of its Champions League visit to Sheriff on Wednesday.
