• La Liga top scorer Bellingham scores double in Osasuna win
• Milan keeper sees red at Genoa but Olivier Giroud preserves lead

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham scored twice and produced another masterful display in a 4-0 La Liga home win over Osasuna, with the England midfielder reaching an astonishing 10 goals in his first 10 starts for his new team.

Ten goals scored from 19 shots is extraordinary effectiveness from the 20-year-old Bellingham who has made his transition to Spanish soccer look ridiculously easy. He equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s 10 goals, but delivered three assists against only one by the Portuguese in his first ten starts for Real in all competitions.
