It's frantic now. End to end.

Vinicius Jr has his defenders on toast, more brilliant play, and he finds Rodrygo, whose shot is deflected wide for a corner.

It's overturned. No penalty.

Aissa Mandi actually moved his right arm out of the way - and then his left arm out of the way too after the ball hit his chest. That would have been so harsh.

Referee Javier Alberola Rojas is going to the screen to view this. I think it'll be overturned.

Real Madrid 2-3 Villarreal

Or did it? VAR are checking. Maybe it even hit Aissa Mandi's chest and not his arm.

Another twist.

Real sub Eduardo Camavinga runs into the box and stumbles. Aissa Mandi is on the ground and the loose ball hits his arm.

Wonderful cross from Luka Modric to Marco Asensio but the Real forward's volley is saved by Pepe Reina.

Villarreal have a corner - and it's a chance.

Dani Parejo crosses and Juan Foyth heads just wide.

Ex-Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has just scored for PSG in his 50th Ligue 1 appearance. They lead Nice 2-0.

Eduardo Camavinga replaces Dani Ceballos in Real's midfield.

Real would be 11 points behind Barcelona, having played a game more if it ends like this.

Two chances for Real. First Vinicius Jr curls wide of the far post and then Rodygo slams into the side-netting.

Real bring on Luka Modric for Aurelien Tchouameni. They were planning on doing that anyway.

Jose Luis Morales, 35, is the first Villarreal player to score in four successive away matches since Gerard Moreno between April and September 2019.

A second goal ruled out for Villlarreal.

Samuel Chukwueze crosses and the ball finds its way to Jose Luis Morales, who lashes home at the second attempt.

The whistle goes though, but for what?

Villarreal defender Juan Foyth is booked for repeated fouls on Vinicius Jr. He's suspended for their next game.

No player has more goal involvements in La Liga home matches this campaign than Vinicius Jr (seven goals, four assists). Iago Aspas is also on 11 - nine goals and two assists.

Villarreal bring on Alberto Moreno and Jose Morales for Giovani lo Celso and Yeremy Pino.

Villarreal go so close.

Thibaut Courtois makes a slide tackle outside his box which lands to Yeremy Pino. He takes a couple of touches to set himself and then curls the ball just past the far post with the keeper desperately backpedalling.
