Morata's late header completes Real Madrid's rampant comeback

Real Madrid did it again.

Seemingly down and out, trailing 2-0 away to Villarreal midway through the second half of Sunday's contest, Los Blancos came roaring back to claim a late 3-2 victory that sees Zinedine Zidane's side regain top spot in La Liga from bitter rival Barcelona.

Gareth Bale got the capital-based club on the board in the 64th minute, and Cristiano Ronaldo equalised in the 74th from the penalty spot, before substitute Alvaro Morata completed the comeback with a powerful header in the 83rd minute.
