Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid came off the bench to score a late header in a 2-1 comeback win over Las Palmas, propelling his team to the top of La Liga on Saturday.
After a sluggish first half, Real were stunned by the hosts in the 53rd minute when Javi Munoz tapped in from close range after Sandro surged up the right and fired in a low cross.
However, Real responded in the 65th minute with a point-blank strike by Vinicius Jr, and in the 84th, substitute Tchouameni scored with a thunderous header from a Toni Kroos corner.
Real leads the standings with 54 points after 21 games, two points ahead of Girona, who will play their 22nd league game of the season on Sunday against Celta Vigo.
