Real Madrid goes three points clear

Real Madrid fought back to beat Sporting Gijon 3-1 and move three points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga on Saturday while fourth-placed Sevilla slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Espanyol.
 Sporting stunned the Bernabeu when David Barral scored against the run of play in the 53rd minute but it only took Manuel Pellegrini’s side two minutes to equalize. Rafael van der Vaart and Xabi Alonso struck in quick succession before Gonzalo Higuain calmed the nerves with a superb solo effort in the 68th as Real claimed their 14th win in 14 home games this season. Athletic Bilbao climbed to sixth with 42 points, above Deportivo Coruna on goal difference, despite being held 2-2 by visiting Getafe in a stormy encounter at San Mames. Valladolid won 2-0 at Deportivo thanks to goals from Nauzet Aleman and Haris Medunjanin.
