Madrid, March 16

Gareth Bale ended a nine-game goal drought by scoring twice as Real Madrid moved back to within a point of Barcelona at the top of La Liga with a 2-0 win over Levante.

The Welshman silenced his critics as Madrid snapped a three-game winless streak yesterday to ensure they go into next weekend’s El Clasico at the Camp Nou on Barcelona’s tails.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t appear overjoyed to see his teammate get back on the scoresheet as he cut a frustrated figure having seen his initial efforts lead to both Bale’s goals. — AFP
