Match Report
Clearly suffering with several of their top stars unavailable, Ancelotti's side failed to take control of the game during the first half.
The hosts remained resilient at the Estadio Gran Canaria, and were unfortunate not to have been awarded a penalty after Dani Ceballos was clumsily inside the penalty box.
Former Barcelona star Munir was denied by a great save by Andrey Lunin after the break but Las Palmas continued their hunt for an opener and were rewarded for their efforts as Javi Munoz fired them in front on 53 minutes.
Las Palmas were unable to maintain their momentum however and Vinicius Jr and Aurelien Tchouameni netted to seal a hard-fought win.
The result sees Real Madrid move two points clear of Girona, having now played the same amount of matches. The Catalans can go back top if they defeat Celta Vigo later in the weekend.
