Real Sociedad 0-1 Real Madrid: Bale header lift Zidane's men to the top

Gareth Bale proves decisive today again as Los Blancos without Starman, Ronaldo and Benzema keep pressure on Atletico and Barca as they stay top of the log with the aforementioned teams having a match at hand.

A late header from Gareth Bale kept Real Madrid’s La Liga title challenge alive as they battled to a 1-0 win at Real Sociedad on Saturday.

The Welshman created many problems for the Sociedad defense by thumping numerous headers before and after the break. And that goal came on when the Welshman, whose late goal secured the 3-2 comeback with over Rayo Vallecano last week, steered in a powerful header in the 80th minute following Lucaz Vasquez fine cross.

Results from Atlético and Barca will prove Madrid fate later on. But as it stands, Real now lead with two points ahead of both rivals.
