Kenneth Omeruo returned to Leganes starting line up on Monday in
their 1-1 draw at home to Real Madrid in a La Liga clash.
Omeruo who had
missed Leganes’ last three games against Getafe, Real Valladolid and Alaves
starred in a five-man defence which paraded Allan Nyom, Unai Bustinza,
Dimitrios Siovas and Jonathan Silva.
Jonathan Silva
scored for Leganes in the waning seconds of the first half when the defender
curled a shot past Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas inside the box.
Karim Benzema drew Real Madrid level six minutes into the
second-half from a tight-angle rebound after Ivan Cuellar blocked the
Frenchman’s initial shot.
The draw
strengthened Los Blancos’ third-place spot in the table but remain four points
behind second-place Atletico Madrid.
While for
Leganes the draw extends their unbeaten streak to four league games, but have
not defeated Madrid in league play in the last six matchups.
Omeruo who is
currently on loan from Chelsea has made 22 La Liga appearances this season.
