Real Madrid stay five points behind leaders Barcelona after they won 2-3 at Levante on Saturday, a game they were actually losing until three minutes from the end. All the goals came after a quiet first half, Babá getting on the end of a long Xumetra cross to drill a first time shot past Diego López with just under an hour on the clock. Sergio Ramos made it all square from a Di María corner just four minutes later though, and second half substitute Marcelo fired a shot over the top soon afterwards. With four minutes of normal time remaining El Zhar appeared to have won it for the locals when he beat López to a cross from the left and held off Ramos before turning a shot back in to the net. But four minutes later Morata picked up a pass from Varane to level the scores once again, and with the game coming to an end Cristiano Ronaldo collected a pass from Modric and fired in an angled shot which deflected off the back of Juanfran and in off the far post.
