DANI CARVAJAL WAS the unlikely match-winner for Real Madrid as a gritty 2-1 victory at Deportivo Alaves took them top of LaLiga today.
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.
Madrid rose to the challenge and restored their advantage three minutes after the equaliser to go three points clear of Barcelona, who visit Atletico Madrid tomorrow.
