Real Madrid came from behind to beat Almeria 4-2 at the Bernebeau as Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty and scored a goal before he was red-carded.

Ronaldo was yellow-carded for removing his shirt after scoring Real's fourth goal and in the last minute he was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Sergio Ramos had given Real a first-half lead, but two goals in four minutes gave Almeria a shock 2-1 lead.

Gonzalo Higuain levelled, before Karim Benzema restored Real's lead.

The French international striker pounced after Almeria goalkeeper Diego Alves had saved Ronaldo's penalty.
