Alaves boss goes berserk against Real Madrid and even shakes own member of staff
Deportivo Alaves' head coach Luis Garcia Plaza lost his head when he could only watch on as Real Madrid netted a late winner - denying his side a famous point
Deportivo Alaves' head coach Luis Garcia Plaza lost his cool on the touchline after 10-men Real Madrid netted a late winner against his side.
Los Blancos left it late at the Mendizorroza Stadium to haul themselves back onto top spot in La Liga. And their task away from home against Alaves was made even harder after Nacho Fernandez was given his marching orders.
Alaves were mere minutes away from a famous point against the Spanish giants when Real were awarded a corner in the 90th minute. Toni Kroos' delivery was met by the head of Lucas Vazquez - who turned the ball home.

However, Plaza wasn't done as he made his way back to his seat, throwing his coat on the floor. Plaza then, finally, sat back down - but not before more kicking of his feet.
