Real Madrid Defeat Valladolid To Displace Barcelona At Top Of Laliga Table

Real Madrid went three points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga with a hard-fought win at Real Valladolid.

Defender Nacho scored the only goal with a header from Toni Kroos’ cross, his first La Liga goal in two years.

Casemiro thought he had given Madrid the lead earlier on but his header from Kroos’ free-kick was disallowed by the video assistant referee for offside.

Lowly Valladolid had the ball in the net late on but Sergi Guardiola was offside when he hooked home.
