Gareth Bale vindicated Zinedine Zidane's decision to name him in the starting lineup for Sunday's El Clasico as the Wleshman curled home a sublime strike to earn his side a share of the spoils.

Despite having one more player than their opponents, Real Madrid were finding things difficult against a resolute Barcelona side.

Step forward Bale. Having has a relatively quiet game, with the exception of a shocking challenge on Samuel Umtiti, few expected the former Tottenham man to come up with the game's decisive moment.

But produce it he did, running onto Marco Asensio's no-look pass, the Welsh star barely broke stride as he got across Jordi Alba to sweep a wonderful effort beyond Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and into the far corner to level the scores.
