Watch Sergio Ramos rescue Real Madrid with a stoppage-time winner yet again
At this point, it's just spooky what Sergio Ramos is doing. After scoring a 90th-minute equalizer in El Clasico last week, Ramos popped up again on a set piece to rifle home a header late in stoppage time game-winner against Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.
Zinedine Zidane rolled the dice in a major way against Deportivo, opting to rest a host of stars ahead of an upcoming trip to Japan for the Club World Cup. The gamble nearly backfired, as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema were left out of the squad entirely.
Down 2-1 in the closing minutes, Zidane had very little ammunition on the bench with which to mount a comeback. Two of his substitutes, Mariano and Lucas Vasquez, combined to even the match up in the 84th minute, but Real Madrid appeared destined to drop points. A loss or draw would reopen the door for Barcelona to creep closer in the La Liga title race.
That didn't happen. Instead, Sergio Ramos and stoppage time happened, boosting Real Madrid to a 3-2 win in the end.
