Dani Carvajal's Goal Edges Real Madrid Past Alaves in 2-1 La Liga Win

Real Madrid are three points clear at the top of La Liga after beating Alaves 2-1 on Saturday. Sergio Ramos headed in the opener at the Estadio Mendizorroza, before giving away a penalty after a foul on Joselu.

Lucas Perez scored from the spot for Alaves, but Dani Carvajal prodded in the winner soon after to help Los Blancos move above bitter rivals Barcelona.

The Blaugrana can take back top spot with a positive result on Sunday, although the reigning champions face a tricky trip to Atletico Madrid.
