Jude Bellingham becomes first Real Madrid player to score in his opening three LaLiga games since a VERY familiar name | The Sun

JUDE BELLINGHAM has become the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score in each of his first three La Liga games for Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old joined the Spanish giants in a record-breaking £115million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in June.

He made his league debut earlier this month and scored in a 2-0 win over Athletic Club.

Bellingham then carried his impressive form over to Real Madrid's second game of the La Liga season last week when he scored twice against Almeria.

And he clinched the winning goal during the club's clash with Celta Vigo on Friday in dramatic fashion.

The 81st minute header saw him level Ronaldo's total of four goals in his opening three La Liga games.
