Real Madrid vs Las Palmas in less than 3 minutes

Real Madrid have relinquished their lead at the top of La Liga and have been surpassed by arch rivals Barcelona, that’s because they could only manage a draw at home to Las Palmas.

A draw that they had to earn the hard way as they ended the game with 10 men in an encounter at The Bernabeu which ended in dramatic fashion.

It looked like being another routine home performance when Isco put Los Blancos ahead after 8 minutes, but that joy would only last a couple of minutes as Las Palmas leveled proceedings through Tana.

That is how the scoreline would finish up at half time but soon after the restart the game would be turned on it’s head, that’s because Gareth Bale saw Red and was subsequenly given his marching orders,

He shoved Jonathan Viera on 47 minutes and just 10 minutes later the same man would give Las Palmas a shock lead from the penalty spot after Sergio Ramos was adjudged to have handled.

The night would take an ever more bizarre twist when Kevin Prince Boateng made it 3-1, surely this was going to be a memorbale victory for Las Palmas.

Enter Cristiano Ronaldo, Los Blancos needed a comeback win on Sunday to dispose of Villarreal and they needed a comeback effort to snatch a point and break the hearts of the travelling Las Palmas fans.

Firstly with 4 minutes to go Real were awarded a penalty and Ronaldo did not turn down the opportunity to make it 3-2, that then meant that Zinedine Zidane’s were to lay siege on the Las Palmas goal.

And the resolve of the away side would be broken with just a minute to go as that man Ronaldo leaped highest to head home and rescue a dramatic point.

They do now find themselves second but still have that game in hand but the momentum is swinging back to Barcelona.

Here is all you need to know from last night
