There was controversy in Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid. Casemiro knocked Alvaro Morata away from the goal with his arm to prevent him going further. The Atletico man went down in the box, but the referee Estrada Fernandez gave nothing.

After 32 minutes, the game came to life at the Bernabeu. Morata went down in the box and the Atletico man asked for a penalty. 

The move started with a lovely nutmeg by Saul to Casemiro. The Real Madrid footballer arrived late while Morata was heading towards goal. 

To stop him, Casemiro had to put his body there, Morata went to ground and asked for a penalty kick.

Estrada Fernandez said there was no foul. The VAR checked it, but agreed with the on-field official 

Casemiro puts his arm into Morata and the Atletico Madrid went down. It was the first controversial decision of the Madrid derby.
