Real Madrid went up to the top of La Liga on Saturday after a thrilling 2-1 victory against Las Palmas thanks to a thunderous header from Aurelien Tchouameni. Javier Munoz gave Las Palmas the lead early in the second half, but Vinicius Junior of Madrid tied the score before Tchouameni’s birthday goal. With 21 games played, Carlo Ancelotti’s team leads Girona by two points at the top of the table; however, the Catalan minnows can retake the top spot when they host Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Third-place winners Barcelona will play Villarreal later on Saturday; they must win to keep up their lead over Los Blancos following their triumph in Gran Canaria.

Tchouameni was substituted by Ancelotti three minutes before he scored the game-winning goal.

The Italian coach told reporters, “I look at the bench and I have chances to change the dynamic.”

“It’s a tool that we have, with such a motivated bench, they bring a lot when they come on.”
Due to a suspension, Madrid’s top scorer Jude Bellingham was sidelined and replaced by Brahim Diaz. Dani Ceballos was also given a rare midfield start by Ancelotti.

Sergi Cardona, the left-back for Las Palmas, was the main threat in an otherwise lacklustre first half.

While Vinicius had a few off-target attempts for Madrid at the other end, Alvaro Valles, the custodian for Las Palmas, was mainly unaffected.

Under Francisco Garcia Pimienta, the former Barcelona reserves coach promoted Las Palmas, who came in seventh, have performed better than expected and gave Madrid their best for extended periods.
The former forward for Barcelona crossed the ball for Munoz, whose weak shot caught Nacho Fernandez’s lob.

Vinicius tied the score for Madrid after Dani Carvajal’s goal was disallowed for offside.

The Brazilian levelled the score in the 65th minute after missing a fantastic opportunity.

With a chipped pass over the defence, Eduardo Camavinga found Vinicius, who fired past Valles from a close range.

In search of a winner, Ancelotti substituted Turkish striker Arda Guler for match-winning Tchouameni on his La Liga debut.

With six minutes left, the French midfielder scored just his second goal for the team with an incredible header from a corner provided by Toni Kroos.
This is only the most recent run of goals Madrid has scored this season from corners, demonstrating how well they have utilised set pieces in La Liga.
Conclusion:
The midfielder for Las Palmas, Munoz, remarked, “We have to be proud, we competed, congratulations to Real Madrid.”

“They went behind and we knew they would come forward, we sat deeper, as a result, and they reacted.”
