Real Madrid beat Barcelona in women's Clásico for first time

Caroline Weir scored two late goals as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday to secure their first-ever Clásico win and keep alive their faint title hopes.

Weir came off the bench to turn home Linda Caicedo's cutback in the 87th minute and added her second in stoppage time to move Madrid within four points of Liga F leaders Barça with seven games to go.

Caroline Graham Hansen had earlier cancelled out Alba Redondo's opener and there was controversy just before Weir's first goal when a Jana Fernández strike was ruled out for offside.
