Real Madrid scoring run comes to an end in Real Betis defeat

Real Madrid's LaLiga defeat to Real Betis on Wednesday saw Los Blancos fail to score for the first time in 17 months, ending a streak that had lasted for 73 games.

Antonio Sanabria's stoppage-time goal handed Betis a 1-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu to leave Real seven points behind leaders Barcelona and still seeking a first home league win of the season.

Real Madrid had last been shut out in spring 2016

Zinedine Zidane's men had been on target in every match they had played since a goalless draw with Manchester City in the Champions League in April 2016.
