Pep Guardiola's Manchester City achieve impressive milestone in FA Cup with Huddersfield thrashing
Football
Almeria are not just a pushover side, as their league position would suggest.
The side, who are at the bottom of the Spanish table, stunned Real Madrid in a La Liga fixture when they took an early lead.
Belgian youngster Largie Ramazani gave his side the lead after just 38 seconds, consigning Madrid to a feeling they have not experienced in almost 10 years.
The goal was the earliest the Spanish giants conceded in all competitions since 2015. Ironically, the last time they conceded a goal as early, it was also within 38 seconds.
