Jude Bellingham is back: 5 goals in his last 5 matches

It seems as though the Jude Bellingham we saw last season at Real Madrid is back. The English midfielder, who struggled for goals at the start of the campaign, has opened the scoring against Girona, marking his fifth goal in his last five outings for 'Los Blancos'.

The hosts had been knocking on Madrid's door to break the deadlock, but Bellingham took it upon himself to put his side in front as he rushed into the box to blast a loose ball - initially put in by Brahim Diaz - through the legs of Oriol Romeu and Paulo Gazzaniga.

Girona thus joins his list of preys alongside Osasuna, Leganes, Getafe and Athletic Club as Real Madrid look to cut the gap up top from Barcelona, who dropped two points earlier today following a 2-2 draw at Betis.

He was also generous enough to provide the assist for Arda Guler, who put the scoreline at 0-2 ten minutes into the second half. The former Dortmund gem did well to control Modric's delivery before laying the ball to the Turkish youngster, who finished beautifully past the Girona goalkeeper.
