'Eight points!' - Pique hits out at referees after controversial Madrid penalty

The Barca defender took aim at Zinedine Zidane's side following a decision which left a sour taste in the mouth of their opponents

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has hit out at La Liga officials following a controversial penalty decision that allowed Real Madrid to overcome a two-goal deficit to beat Villarreal on Sunday.

Manuel Trigueros gave the hosts the lead at Estadio de la Ceramica before Cedric Bakambu doubled their lead, only for Zinedine Zidane's men to stage a dramatic comeback.

Gareth Bale, making his first start in three months following an injury, pulled one back with a header on the hour-mark.
