Real Madrid came from 2-0 down to record a remarkable win at Villarreal, a victory that saw them return to the top of La Liga.
The pivotal moment came at 2-1 when Villarreal’s Bruno was adjudged to have handled in the area, although it was disputed if it was intentional.
Cristiano Ronaldo made it 2-2 from the spot after Gareth Bale had headed in Real’s first.
Substitute Alvaro Morata then nodded in the winner seven minutes from time.
Real have 55 points, one clear of Barcelona who defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 earlier on Sunday. Real also have a game in hand over their fierce rivals and over Sevilla, who sit in third with 52 points.
