Madrid fight back to beat Villarreal 3-2 in La Liga
Villarreal [Spain], Feb.27 (ANI): Despite being two goals down in the second-half, Real Madrid bounced back in style to register an enthralling 3-2 win over Villarreal and move back to the top of La Liga here on Monday. After a goalless first half, Villarreal sealed two quick fire second-half goals from Manu Trigueros (50th) and Cedric Bakambu (56th) to go 2-0 up at Estadio de la Ceramica. However, Madrid, who were beaten by Valencia last time out, produced a dramatic comeback as they netted three goals in 19 minutes of the second-half to avoid back-to-back losses and seal three points, goal.com reported. Gareth Bale, who was starting for the first time since November after an ankle injury, pulled back opener for Madrid with a well-placed header in the 64th minute before star striker Cristiano Ronaldo became La Liga's leading penalty scorer with 57 in the 74th minute. Madrid's Alvaro Morata, who came as a substitute, then sealed a winner to guide his side to one point clear of second-place Barcelona in the standings. Madrid will take on Las Palmas while Villarreal will lock horns with Osasuna in their next La Liga clash on Thursday. (ANI)

Allen produces fastest ton in T20WC history; guides NZ to final

With this win, NZ has sealed their final spot and will play either India or England, who will clash on Thursday at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Courtesy of some fight from Marco Jansen (55 in 30 balls, with two fours and five sixes) and Tristan Stubbs (29 in 24 balls, with two fours and a six), Proteas reached 169/8 in 20 overs after they sunk to 77/5. But the real magic was produced by Tim Seifert (58 in 33 balls, with seven fours and two sixes) and Allen (100* in 33 balls, with 10 fours and eight sixes), who put a 117-run stand which killed the game within the powerplay itself.
