La Liga Santander WATCH: Bellingham scores fifth goal in four games to seal Real Madrid win

Jude Bellingham scored in injury time to complete Real Madrid’s 2-1 comeback victory over Getafe on Saturday, extending his scoring run to a Spanish league-leading five in four matches since joining his new club.

The 20-year-old England midfielder is having a dream start since arriving at Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for 130 million euros ($142 million). His goals have done more than any of his teammates to give Madrid four victories in as many games. Last season, he scored eight goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances.

Getafe struck first through former Madrid youth player Borja Mayoral in the 11th minute. New Madrid striker Joselu Mato equalised in the 47th. Getafe held firm until the final minutes when Bellingham took advantage of a fumbled save by goalkeeper David Soria to tap in the winner.

This was Madrid’s first home game of the season at its renovated Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which has a retractable roof. Madrid hit the woodwork three times, and Soria kept Getafe in the game with several saves until his error in the final moments cost his team a point.

Bellingham joins a small group of players to have netted in each of their first four Liga matches, including Madrid’s all-time record goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo. Earlier Takefusa Kubo hit a brace to help Real Sociedad earn their first win of the season, beating promoted side Granada 5-3 in San Sebastian.
