Bale draws kudos after impressive Real debut

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hailed world record signing Gareth Bale's attitude after the Welshman made his debut for the Spanish giant by scoring in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Villarreal.

Bale knotted the score with a simple finish from close range just before halftime to cancel out Cani's opener for the host.

The 24-year-old was withdrawn by Ancelotti along with fellow debutant Asier Illarramendi on the hour mark due to their lack of match fitness.
