Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe scored first-half goals as Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 at the Bernabeu to go one point behind LaLiga leaders Barcelona.
Bouncing back from Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League defeat at Liverpool, in which Mbappe had a penalty saved, Real took the lead through a Bellingham spot-kick on the half-hour mark.
And Mbappe then added a fine strike eight minutes later, sending the ball in off a post from 20 yards.

Second-placed Atalanta, Inter and Fiorentina all have the same amount of points, along with Lazio, who were beaten 3-1 at Parma.
