Star man – Gareth Bale Gareth Bale continued where he had left off after international duty for Wales at the China Cup (AP/Press Association Images)

Having returned from international duty with Wales at the China Cup, where he became the Dragons’ all-time record goalscorer, Bale continued where he left off – and even spurned a couple of hat-trick chances to set up his team-mates.


👊 Brilliant goal! @lukamodric10 played a searching ball forward into the left-hand channel, @GarethBale11 carried it forward and smashed home from inside the box! ¡VAMOS!

Real swept into the lead on 26 minutes, capitalising on a high defensive line by the hosts. mLuka Modric’s pass sent Bale clear down the left – and the Wales forward charged into the penalty area before lashing the ball into the far corner.
