Real Madrid lose Top Spot to Barca after Las Palmas Draw

By

Ten-man Real Madrid rescued a 3-3 draw at home to Las Palmas on Wednesday thanks to a late double from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Goals from Tana, Jonathan Viera and Kevin-Prince Boateng overturned an early opener from Isco and looked set to give the visitors a shock three points, especially after Gareth Bale's red card early in the second half.

But Ronaldo struck twice in three minutes in the closing stages to salvage a point for Zinedine Zidane's side that could yet prove important in the LaLiga title race, though it was not enough to take them back above Barcelona, who earlier thrashed Sporting Gijon 6-1.

After appearing to be first choice, the former Real Madrid goalkeeper has found himself frozen out for their three most recent matches. "The players know what my rules are, the way I coach and how I demand that they always give 100 percent in training," Conceico told reporters. "He talked to me and wanted to know why he isn't in the team and I explained that it was due to his training. I have to be consistent in dealing with my dressing room. "Whether it is Joaquim, Manuel or Antonio. If I make exceptions, I'll lose the whole squad but I can't do that and close my eyes to 15 days of training like that from Iker and he understands that." Despite newspaper reports in recent days hinting that the Spaniard could soon be moved on as a result of the situation, Conceicao laughed off those claims. "He has shown good behaviour and is now working on improving. I'm certain he'll fight [for his place]," he added. Casillas hasn't play...
