🇪🇸 Real Madrid survive Almería scare to reclaim LaLiga top spot | OneFootball

Real Madrid survived a scare against Almería to cling onto LaLiga’s top spot.

Scorers: Bellingham (PEN) 57′, Vinícius 68′, Carvajal 90+10′; Ramazani 1′, Édgar 43′

The Santiago Bernabéu was left stunned after just 38 seconds as Largie Ramazani capitalised on a mistake by Nacho to put the visitors ahead.

Édgar González compounded the misery for Carlo Ancelotti’s side shortly before the interval with a stunning volley from the edge of the area.

But Los Blancos staged their fightback as Jude Bellingham converted an early second-half penalty after a handball by the league’s rock-bottom team.

They were still afforded a reprieve when Almería saw a potential third goal chalked off by VAR just four minutes after the England international’s spot kick.

Vinícius levelled for Ancelotti’s charges by heading home but not before another lengthy VAR review amid suggestions of handball by the Brazilian.

The comeback was completed in the tenth minute of added time as Dani Carvajal prodded home Bellingham’s header to the far post.

Madrid move two points clear of Girona at the summit but can be overtaken if their title rivals win against Sevilla later on Sunday.
