Real Madrid go back atop the table after the come-from-behind victory that will be talked about for weeks
It may have looked like a massive upset was in the cards when La Liga's last place side Almeria took a 2-0 lead over title chasers Real Madrid, but the heavyweights came back from behind to win 3-2 on Sunday -- albeit in very controversial circumstances.
Almeria took the lead just a minute into the match when Largie Ramazani scored and then went up 2-0 a couple of minutes before halftime courtesy of Edgar Gonzalez. In a second half that saw some questionable refereeing calls and one of the latest goals in the league's history, Real Madrid scored three times and regained a two-point lead on Girona atop the table. Almeria, meanwhile, continue their abysmal streak at the bottom of the league -- they have yet to win a game, 21 matches into the season.
The bizarre match set up for a war or words between Real Madrid and Almeria players, mainly as it pertained to the role that VAR played in what was one of the most eventful matches of the season.
