Celta Vigo 2-2 Real Madrid LaLiga: as it happened, goals
Gareth Bale scored a brace for Madrid after Daniel Wass has chipped the home side in to the lead. Maxi Gómez then secured a deserved point in the final stages.
Gareth Bale scored twice on his first LaLiga start for Real Madrid since September but could not prevent his side dropping two points against Celta Vigo.
Daniel Wass applied a deft touch to chip the ball over Keylor Navas' head and open the scoring for Celta after 33 minutes. By that point, Iago Aspas had already rattled the post with a close-range volley.
The match quickly swung back in Madrid's favour. As he did against Fuenlabrada and Al Jazira, Bale hauled the visitors in to the ascendancy with two goals in two minutes. Aspas won a penalty with 20 minutes remaining, darting around Keylor Navas and drawing a foul from the Costa Rica international. Yet Navas redeemed himself by saving Aspas' subsequent spot-kick.
The game remained open and Maxi Gómez took advantage. As the Madrid players waited for a foul that never came, the barrel-chested Uruguayan headed Wass' cross in to the net to secure a deserved draw for the Galicians.
