Meanwhile, Bellingham's day at Getafe was not without controversy after an apparent spat with Mason Greenwood.

LaLiga chiefs have called in a lip reader to investigate a complaint by Jose Bordalas' side about an alleged "rapist" slur aimed at the on loan Manchester United star.

Cameras captured Bellingham appearing to mutter something at Greenwood after a crunching tackle on him.

The 22-year-old joined Getafe on loan in September, seven months after charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped.
