Bellingham, who signed from Borussia Dortmund for 103 million euros, continued his prolific start to life at Real Madrid with his fourth goal in three games this season, as he tapped in a rebound after David Soria had spilled Lucas Vazquez’s shot.

The English midfielder, who has taken LaLiga and Madrid by storm, was at the heart of everything Real did offensively.

But he needed a helping hand from stalwarts Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, who helped turn the screw during a dominant second half that saw Getafe pinned back for long periods, with Soria making several saves and Real hitting the post three times.

With four wins from four, Real are the only unbeaten team in the league. EFE
