Leganes vs Real Madrid 2-4 – All Goals & Extended Match Highlights – La Liga 05/04/2017

Real Madrid returned to the top of LaLiga by beating Leganes, Alvaro Morata ensuring they did not miss the rested Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alvaro Morata scored a lethal hat-trick as Real Madrid won a LaLiga thriller 4-2 at Leganes to leapfrog Barcelona and return to the top of LaLiga.

Madrid raced into a three-goal lead, James Rodriguez striking after 15 minutes before Morata followed up with a quickfire double to reach 10 top-flight goals for the first time in his career.

Close-range strikes from Leganes duo Gabriel Pires and Luciano Neves reduced the deficit to one just after the half-hour mark as the hosts battled back.

But Morata became the first Spanish player to score a league hat-trick for Madrid since Raul achieved the feat in 2009, his header from James’ delivery early in the second half taking a huge deflection off Martin Mantovani and ending the match as a contest.
