Lewandowski treble for leaders Barca as Atletico held

Atletico Madrid's bid to bounce back from a heavy Champions League defeat fell short as Real Sociedad rescued a 1-1 draw thanks to Luka Sucic's brilliant late strike. Lewandowski reached 10 goals for the season in nine league games, stretching his lead as the division's top goalscorer with a first-half treble. Champions Madrid beat Villarreal on Saturday to pull level with Barcelona but the Catalans strolled to a comfortable triumph at Alaves' Mendizorroza stadium to continue a strong start to the campaign under new coach Hansi Flick.
