| Pepe mobbed by team mates after scoring the winning goal |
Pepe's bouncing header is what Real Madrid needs to score an important three points against Barcelona City based Espanyol in the latest round of the La Liga.
The goal came in the 55th minute when Luka Modric fired a free kick from the right hand side from a Christian Stuani foul on Daniel Carvajal. Real Madrid got another two good chances, the first one from Karim Benzema and the second from Cristiano Ronaldo but both were saved by an outstanding performance of Espanyol goal keeper Kiko Casilla.
Real Madrid's win move them closer to league leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid which played a nil-nil draw at Vicente Calderon.
