Real Madrid fought a hard battle against Valencia on Friday to earn a comeback 2-1 win despite playing with 10 men after a red card was shown to Vinicius Junior.
The match, which was finally played on Friday after it was earlier postponed in October because of a flood, saw the home side earn an early lead through a goal by Hugo Duro.
The night took a dramatic side as Real Madrid’s winger Vinicius Junior got a red card for coming and hitting Stole Dimitrievski, Valencia goalkeeper, in the face.
While Real Madrid men were reduced to 10 after the red card, Los Blancos did not relent as Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham scored late goals, helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side secure the win.
Real Madrid now sits at the leader of La Liga after the win with a total of 43 points, leading Atlético Madrid, who still have a game in hand with just two points.
