Real Madrid fought back from a goal down to secure a battling win at Las Palmas on Saturday afternoon. Played out in glorious sunshine on Gran Canaria, Real fought back to move top of La Liga. Javi Munoz fired Las Palmas in front at the start of the second half, but Vinicius drew Real level and Aurelien Tchouameni climbed off the bench to secure the win for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. Aurelien Tchouameni scored six minutes from time to give Real Madrid a hard-fought 2-1 win at Las Palmas.
The first half had more fouls than chances with Rodrygo’s early booking for a coming together with goalkeeper Alvaro Velles setting the tone for a feisty affair.
The Yellows exploded out of the blocks in the second half and a counter attack saw Sandro Ramirez set up Javier Munoz to score from close range.
Carlo Ancelotti, who brought on Federico Valverde and Joselu, saw his side equalise 12 minutes later when Vinicius ran onto Eduardo Camavinga’s through ball to rifle the ball in from close range.
Ancelotti then brought on Guler and Tchouameni and the latter paid off when the French midfielder headed in Toni Kroos’s corner to seal victory
