Real Madrid Defeat Leganes 3-1 Despite Resting Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid came back from a goal down and raved to a 3-1 win over Leganes on Wednesday to move back up to third in La Liga, though they remain 14 points off leaders Barcelona.

Los Blancos went down to an early strike from Unai Bustinza but hit back through Lucas Vazquez, Casemiro and Sergio Ramos to collect all three points on offer.

Real have now won their last four matches in succession and have earned some revenge over Leganes after the same opponent dumped them out of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals in January.
