    FT: Villarreal 1-1 Real Madrid

    Villarreal goalscorer Gerard Moreno, speaking on La Liga TV: "I think we could have gone on to get the win, we had a few chances, but the point is an important one based on how we started the game. We were the better side in the second half and we could have won the game today.

    "We are still able to keep up our undefeated streak at home which is something we wanted today."

    Villarreal 1-1 Real Madrid

    All over and all square. That's probably a fair result as Real Madrid pay the price for not being able to build on their early goal.

    Villarreal 1-1 Real Madrid

    Five minutes to go and Real Madrid are looking tired now. Villarreal are looking most likely to get the win that would take them top of the table.

    Villarreal 1-1 Real Madrid

    Villarreal sniff a winner and Gerard Moreno should make it 2-1 but hesitates before shooting, allowing Raphael Varane just enough time to get a block in.

    Villarreal 1-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid have not managed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last eight games in all competitions.

    Frustrating times for Zinedine Zidane at the moment.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    Oh how is that not the equaliser!

    Dani Parejo has a golden chance to equalise against his former club as he runs onto a cross on the edge of the box but smashes his first-time shot wide.

    Massive chance.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    Nervous moment in the Real Madrid defence as Thibaut Courtois doesn't punch away cleanly and the ball drops to the feet of Vicente Iborra but his shot is blocked. Looks like Real would have got a free kick anyway for a foul on Courtois.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    Thibaut Courtois is off his line quickly and charges out of his box to beat Gerard Moreno to a ball over the top. The flag's up for offside anyway but Courtois stayed alert.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    Crikey. Bold football by Luka Modric as he runs along the edge of his own area, taking players on and you just feel he is going to get caught out but nope, Modric stays calm to duck and weave past all challenges before clearing.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    BIG chance for Villarreal!

    Real Madrid are almost caught out as they play out from the back as Toni Kroos' ball is blocked and it is played quickly to Gerard Moreno, who sweeps his shot just wide of the far post.

    The visitors get away with that one. Terrible defending.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    Martin Odegaard has space 40 yards from goal but, rather than try to get into the box he goes for a hopeful shot from distance and the effort is blocked.

    Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid

    Luka Modric floats the ball into the box. He's looking for the run of Mariano, who appears to have shaken off that injury he was struggling with a little earlier, but the ball is too close to Sergio Asenjo in the Villarreal goal.
