Ancelotti fumes after Ronaldo sees red against Bilbao

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti accused Athletic Bilbao's Carlos Gurpegi of exaggerated theatrics in the action that led to Cristiano Ronaldo's sending off in a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

The recently crowned Ballon d'Or winner was given his marching orders 15 minutes from time, with the score already at 1-1, for appearing to hit out at Gurpegi after having a penalty appeal turned down.

The away draw leaves Real three points behind La Liga leader Atletico Madrid, which moved to the top of the table with a 4-0 win over Real Sociedad earlier on Sunday.
