Real Madrid lost for the first time in La Liga this season as Rayo Vallecano came from behind to beat them.
Santi Comesana put Rayo in front early on but Luka Modric’s penalty and an Eder Militao header meant Real led 2-1 before Alvaro Garcia made it 2-2.
Rayo’s Oscar Trejo then had a second-half penalty saved, but it had to be retaken as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had come off his line too early.
Trejo scored second time to claim victory for Rayo.
Defeat meant La Liga and European champions Real missed the chance to return to the top of the table ahead of Barcelona, who remain two points clear after their 2-0 win at Almeria on Saturday.
Rayo move up to eighth and just two points outside the European places after a third successive victory.
