La Liga: Raphael Varane Scores Brace to Lead Real Madrid Comeback Win vs Huesca

News 18  

Defender Raphael Varane spared Real Madrid some blushes as his second-half goals helped the defending champions come from behind to win at last-placed Huesca 2-1 in the Spanish league on Saturday. The victory moved Madrid back into second place in the standings, closer to league leader Atletico Madrid, which visits struggling Celta Vigo on Monday. Among Madrid’s recent setbacks were a loss to Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup and embarrassing elimination by third-division club Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey round of 32. Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made some key saves to secure the win for Madrid, whose injury list was added to by lvaro Odriozola in the second half because of an apparent muscle problem.
