Alaves 1-2 Real Madrid: Ramos & Carvajal help Madrid get back to La Liga top

Second-half goals from Dani Carvajal and Sergio Ramos helped Real Madrid to hard-earned away win over Deportivo Alaves.

Dani Carval was the unlikely match-winner for Real Madrid as a gritty 2-1 victory at Deportivo Alaves took them top of LaLiga on Saturday.

The right-back prodded home at the end of a chaotic 17-minute period at a sodden Mendizorroza that saw the two sides share three second-half goals.

Sergio Ramos scored first, nodding in Toni Kroos' free-kick, then turned villain with a foul on Joselu that allowed Lucas Perez to restore parity from the spot.
