Amazing end to bitter Real Madrid win over Granada

Spanish Liga champions Real Madrid came from behind to defeat Granada 2-1 in bitter clash.

Having wrapped up their 32nd championship in midweek, the capital club appeared to still be in celebration mode when Franco Jara put Granada ahead with five minutes gone.

That was taking them clear of relegation for the season, only for their situation to be turned on its head in a dramatic final 10 minutes.

First, Cristiano Ronaldo won and converted an equalising penalty, before David Cortes put Karim Benzema's injury-time cross into his own goal.

Then, at the final whistle, Granada's players surrounded police-protected referee Clos Gomez, with Cortes and Borja Perez shown red cards, while the official also seemed to be hit by a bottle thrown by one of the players.
