Bale out? Sent-off star outperforming Zidane as he salvages Real Madrid point

Gareth Bale saved Real Madrid with two goals to earn them a 2-2 draw at Villarreal on Spain's east coast on Sunday night.

The Welsh winger bailed Los Blancos out, and it is remarkable to think that little over a month ago coach Zinedine Zidane was demanding a very different kind of ‘Bale out’.

Bale was sent off for two late yellow cards as the referee found a third way to put Bale out, but right now the forward looks to be Real Madrid’s best player, at least while marquee signing Eden Hazard is out injured.
