Zidane offers 'no excuses' for shock defeat to Cadiz

Zinedine Zidane admitted Real Madrid could have conceded two or three goals in a nightmare first-half display against Cadiz that contributed to their shock 1-0 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Liga new boys picked up their third win of the season at the expense of the reigning champions, going joint-top of the league in the process.

A single goal from Anthony Lozano after 16 minutes was enough to sink Zidane's charges, who went into the weekend's fixtures as sole leaders in Spain but now share the summit with Cadiz, Granada and Malaga.
