Real Madrid battled back from a two-goal deficit to earn a 3-3 draw on Wednesday against a resilient Las Palmas side at the Santiago Bernabeu.

And, the comeback was even sweeter as Zidane’s men did it with just 10 men, after Gareth Bale saw red at around the halfway mark, when the scores were tied at 1-1.

The Welshman doled out a poor challenge from behind, which saw him receive a yellow card. And, as the referee was handing him out the aforementioned, the attacker lashed out at the opposition player, which earned him a second yellow card, and thus, a red within seconds.

Zidane would not be particularly pleased with the effort of his side, despite the late comeback, as the result means they surrender the top spot to Barcelona for the time being.
