Real Madrid cut Barcelona's lead at the summit back to three
points after recovering from an early deficit to defeat mid-table
Almeria tonight.
Madrid, seeking an immediate response to their demoralising 2-0
home defeat to Barca in 'El Clasico' last weekend, created chance
after chance but were made to sweat before recording their seventh
successive away win.
Almeria shocked their big-spending visitors by taking a 14th-minute
lead through Albert Crusat, but a fine Cristiano Ronaldo goal drew
Madrid level nine minutes later and Rafael van der Vaart secured
the victory in the 69th minute.
