VIDEO: Leganes 2-4 Real Madrid: James Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata on target for title chasers

Real Madrid regained their position at the top of LaLiga but not before being put through their paces by a spirited Leganes in a pulsating 4-2 victory.

Having been overtaken by Barcelona earlier on Wednesday evening following their win against Sevilla, Los Merengues looked to be heading for an easy three points when James Rodriguez and an Alvaro Morata double put them in the driving seat within 23 minutes.

However, two goals in three minutes from Gabriel and Luciano Neves brought Leganes right back into the contest in a pulsating first half, before a Martin Mantovani own goal finally saw Madrid over the line shortly after the interval.

Victory means they are two points clear of Barca at the summit, while Leganes remain just above the bottom three.
