Gareth Bale provided the assist for Isco’s equalising goal as Real Madrid dropped points in the league for the first time this season after a 1-1 draw at San Mames against Athletic Bilbao.

Athletic took the lead in the 32nd minute through Iker Muniain, but Real equalised through Isco in the 63rd minute.

Bale played 75 minutes in this fixture before being replaced by Lucas Vazquez.

The result means that Athletic have drawn against Real in the last three games played between the two sides.

Real will be next seen in action in midweek when they host Roma in the Champions League.
