Getafe – Real Madrid 0-2, La Liga – the hosts hit the post twice

The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti is again top in Spain after winning at Getafe in arrears.

Espanyol’s on-loan striker Joselu scored in the 14th and 56th minutes.

The home side didn’t go down so easily and Greenwood and Mayoral both went close, their shots hitting Lunin’s crossbar.

Real Madrid have 57 points after this success, two more than surprising Girona and ten more than rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
