Welcome to coverage of tonight's Liga match between Sporting Gijon and Real Madrid.

LIVE NOW:

The game ends 1-0 to Real, and a real battle it was. Mourinho's men march back to the summit of La Liga.

The crowd in that corner is furious - not because of the decision, but because the Portuguese is high-fiving his team-mates and openly celebrating.

Botia sent off! The home centre-half hacked at Ronaldo near the corner!

Desperate volley clear by Alonso... throw for Sporting near the box. Ronaldo fouled as he tries to dribble clear.

Sporting unable to get the ball forward.

We enter injury time. There will be three minutes added on.

Real change: Alvaro Arbeloa for Ozil.

Novo strays offside as time runs out on Sporting's challenge in this match. De las Cuevas booked for leading with the elbow on Khedira.

Sporting change: Luis Moran for Eguren.

Confusion as Casillas takes a short kick and Carvalho picks it up inside the box. Casillas then kicks the ball away. Naturally it will be retaken... cynical time-wasting move by Real?

Real change: Lassana Diarra on for Higuain. Seeking to protect what they have: that is an excellent indication of how well Sporting have done tonight.

Barral leaps like a salmon eight yards out to head for goal... great save by Casillas!! It looked odds-on to be an equaliser!

Ramos crossed to the far post where Benzema headed downwards for goal... Juan Pablo saved but the ball squirmed from his grasp and there was the Argentina striker to make sure.

GOAL FOR REAL MADRID!!!!!!!!!! Higuain!!

Carvalho holds his hands up to admit it is his fault Madrid have conceded a corner. A foul is awarded when Gregory rises highest to head for goal - a good job as Casillas fumbled.

Marcelo making a run down the left side of the box, played in by Benzema - his shot is into the side-netting!

Novo back to usher Ronaldo out of play as he begins to wind up for a run down the flank... the winger kicks out at the striker. Throw-in awarded... the ref letting lots of things go.

Sporting change: David Barral on for Sangoy up front.

Juan Pablo out to punch a cross and Khedira is down hurt after colliding with him afterwards... Ozil loops it in and the ball finds the net, but the ref had already blown up.
