Concedes goal in Madrid derby Courtois made three saves but conceded a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Courtois was beaten by a late Mario Hermoso header on Sunday, but he will be satisfied with an important victory over rivals Atletico. Strangely, he is still looking for his first La Liga clean sheet of the season despite Madrid's 6-0-0 record so far. Maybe it will come after the international break against Osasuna, which have scored seven goals in six matches.
