Cristiano Ronaldo scored and was then sent off as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3‑1 in the Spanish Super Cup first leg.

Gerard Pique slid Marcelo's cross into his own net before Lionel Messi levelled from a penalty.

Ronaldo, who was a substitute, restored Real's lead when he ran from halfway before smashing an effort home.

He was booked for taking off his shirt to celebrate and shown a second yellow shortly after for a dive ‑ before Marco Asensio scored an excellent third.

Ronaldo felt he should have had a penalty when he went down and appeared to shove the referee in the back after he was shown the red card.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku announced his arrival at Old Trafford by scoring twice on his English Premier League debut for Manchester United as they beat West Ham 4-nil this morning.

In another match Tottenham beat Newcastle 2-nil.
