Jude Bellingham again proved Real Madrid’s match-winner as he struck in added time to snatch a 2-1 La Liga victory over Getafe as the Spanish giants played their first home game at the Bernabéu this season.
Borja Mayoral had opened the scoring for the visitors in the 11th minute with a tidy finish after a mistake by defender Fran Garcia but Joselu equalised from close range after the break.

Madrid put Getafe under relentless pressure until Bellingham, La Liga’s top scorer, was in the right place at the right time to net from a rebound off the goalkeeper David Soria, who could not hold on to a Lucas Vázquez strike from distance.
Bellingham has five goals and has scored in all four matches for his new club.
Madrid top the standings on 12 points, five ahead of Atlético Madrid, Girona and Barcelona, who have yet to play this weekend, and Cádiz, after they beat Villarreal 3-1 on Friday.
