Gareth Bale loves playing at Anoeta. The 28-year-old has been booed by Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu recently, but always seems to find something special away to Real Sociedad. He did so again on Sunday and, along with Borja Mayoral, helped avert a crisis for Los Blancos in La Liga.
Disappointing draws against Valencia and Levante at home had seen Madrid drop four points in the past two rounds of the Primera Division and Barcelona's last-gasp 2-1 win at Getafe on Saturday meant Zinedine Zidane's side were seven adrift of the Blaugrana ahead of their trip to San Sebastian.
Real Sociedad had won their opening three league fixtures to sit joint-top of the table, so this match looked like a tough test for Madrid - especially with Cristiano Ronaldo still suspended, Marcelo also banned, and Karim Benzema, Mateo Kovacic and Toni Kroos all sidelined through injury.
