Las Palmas v Real Madrid live - La Liga latest as Los Blancos looking to go top with a win

Aurelien Tchouameni scored six minutes from time to give Real Madrid a hard-fought 2-1 win away to Las Palmas to send them top of the table.

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.

Vinicius Jr had Los Blanco's best chances, forcing Velles into a good save with an attempted lob and the Brazilian also came close with a low drive from distance.

Las Palmas created some decent opportunities of their own and Sergi Cardona missed the target with a first-time strike in the box.

The Yellows exploded out of the blocks in the second half and came close when Alberto Moleiro's shot was well saved by Andriy Lunin at his near post.

But a few minutes later another 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 Jr ran onto Eduardo Camavinga's through ball to rifle the ball in from close range.

Ancelotti then brought on Guler and Tchouaméni and the latter paid off after the French midfielder headed in Tonu Kroos's corner to seal victory and go two points clear at the top of La Liga from Girona, who play on Sunday.

Real come from behind to win 2-1 courtesy of second half goals from Vinicius Jr and Tchouaméni after Munoz had given Las Palmas the lead.

Real are now top of the table.
