World-record signing Gareth Bale has marked his debut for Real Madrid with an equalising goal against Villarreal.

Los Blancos were trailing by Cani's 21st-minute opener when £85m man slid onto Daniel Carvajal's cross in the 39th minute.

The Welshman's goal at El Madrigal equals David Beckham's feat of scoring on his debut for the club.

Michael Owen and Steve McManaman both provided assists on their first appearances for the Spanish giants, while Jonathan Woodgate scored an own goal and saw red on his bow.
